How to Use This Kirkwood, Missouri Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kirkwood, 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 Kirkwood.

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.

It lies 2.3 miles northwest of Crestwood, MO (from Crestwood, MO: bearing 323°T), and is situated 9.6 miles northwest of Oakville. Gravois Creek winds through the terrain, its modest path serving as a silent witness to the daily shifts of the landscape. Connor provides a patch of green sanctuary where the local flora thrives in the humid, inland air. In the distance, the faint, hazy outlines of the Crescent Hills mark the horizon, offering a boundary to the expansive plains that stretch toward the north. The air here holds a distinctive stillness, grounded by the steady, rhythmic pulse of the earth.

Railroad tracks define the early ambition of Kirkwood, as the town grew from a Victorian commuter suburb into a hub for those seeking a respite from the bustle of the nearby metropolis. The local economy evolved from its origins as a transit-oriented settlement into a diversified center of commerce and professional services. Small businesses and established retailers anchor the downtown district, maintaining a balance between modern industry and traditional trade. The labor of residents has long been tied to the growth of regional commerce, fostering a spirit of plain-spoken productivity. Even as the decades have passed, the town retains a sense of purpose that feels both deliberate and enduring.

The cultural character of Kirkwood is defined by a deep appreciation for civic tradition and the preservation of its architectural heritage. The historic train station stands as a significant landmark, anchoring the community and serving as a reminder of the connections that once forged the region. Residents often gather for local events that celebrate the changing seasons, reflecting a communal life that values neighborly interaction. Famous individuals such as the author Winston Churchill have passed through the broader region, yet the town claims its own identity through the quiet achievements of its citizens. Life here moves with a thoughtful pace, punctuated by the seasonal shifts that color the trees and define the rhythm of the year.

About This Kirkwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kirkwood, Missouri. Coordinates: 38.579356, -90.420881. 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 Kirkwood includes the ZIP code (63122), telephone area code (314), county seat of St. Louis County (Clayton), and school district assignment (Kirkwood R-VII 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.
