Explore Ellington, Missouri, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ellington, Missouri. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Missouri or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ellington.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Ellington occupies a quiet expanse of the Ozark landscape, defined primarily by the persistent, winding path of Logan Creek as it cuts through the local terrain. It lies 46.2 miles northwest of Poplar Bluff, MO (from Poplar Bluff, MO: bearing 317°T), and is situated 16.2 miles west-northwest of Piedmont. The earth here is defined by the modest elevation of Buzzard Hill rising to the north and the deep, shaded hollows of Dickson Valley that cradle the settlement. Five miles away, the dense timber of Deer Run State Forest stands as a dark, evergreen presence against the horizon, while the Current River Conservation Area offers a vast reach of protected wildland just a mile from the center. At dusk, the light catches the limestone-heavy soil, casting long, bruised-purple shadows that stretch across the slopes and turn the creek water into a ribbon of hammered silver.
Ellington emerged from the industrious needs of the timber trade, a history still echoed in the sturdy, unadorned architecture that defines its main thoroughfares. The local economy maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored by the realities of agriculture and the stewardship of the surrounding woodlands. Residents move with a plain-spoken focus, their daily routines dictated by the seasonal shifts in the forest and the slow, rhythmic maintenance of the land. Though Carter Lake remains a distant destination seventeen miles away, life here remains centered on the immediate intimacy of the nearby woods and the quiet, persistent flow of the creek, sustaining a character that values endurance over flash and quiet observation over noise.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
