How to Use This Goose Creek Lake, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Goose Creek Lake, 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 Goose Creek Lake.
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.

About Goose Creek Lake, Missouri
Goose Creek Lake is a locality in St. Francois County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 524. The population density is 51.1 people per km². Goose Creek Lake is located at 37.9803°N, 90.3317°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 63036.Goose Creek Lake occupies a quiet intersection of water and timber where the landscape yields to the persistent, low-slung curvature of the Missouri interior. It lies 14.3 miles north-northeast of Farmington, MO (from Farmington, MO: bearing 15°T), and is situated 16.8 miles south of Festus. The Goose Creek flows with a muted, steady urgency through the surrounding woodland, acting as the primary artery for the basin and feeding the quiet, reflective depths of the lake itself. To the west, the land rises toward the silhouette of Pikes Peak, a distant sentinel that anchors the horizon under a vast, unhurried sky. The air here holds a particular weight at twilight, when the moisture rising from the water meets the cooling shadows of the trees, creating a stillness that feels both ancient and entirely present.
Goose Creek Lake exists as a deliberate gathering place, carved out of the landscape to offer a reprieve from the faster pace of the larger river valleys to the north. While the nearby French Village Towersite stands as a silent monitor over the regional topography, the local economy remains tied to the rhythms of the land and the maintenance of this private, recreational basin. Development has followed the contours of the terrain, favoring a dispersed, low-density approach that respects the proximity of Pinhook Hollow and the forested ridges that define the perimeter. Life here turns on the maintenance of the water levels and the seasonal migrations of the woodland, reflecting a character forged in the Show-Me tradition of plain-spoken, self-contained industry.

About This Goose Creek Lake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Goose Creek Lake, Missouri. Coordinates: 37.980251, -90.331743. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Goose Creek Lake includes the ZIP code (63036), telephone area code (314), county seat of St. Francois County (Farmington), and school district assignment (North St. Francis County R-I School District).
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.
