How to Use This La Monte, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Monte, 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 La Monte.
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 La Monte, Missouri
La Monte is a locality in Pettis County, Missouri, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,014. The population density is 360.8 people per km². La Monte is located at 38.7742°N, 93.4252°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. La Monte is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 65337.La Monte emerges from the expansive Missouri horizon as a quiet collection of rooftops and grain silos punctuating the vast, level expanse of the prairie. It lies 11.7 miles west-northwest of Sedalia, MO (from Sedalia, MO: bearing 294°T), and is situated 7.8 miles east-northeast of Whiteman AFB. The landscape surrounding La Monte is defined by the steady, unyielding presence of fertile soil, where the earth stretches flat toward the distant silhouette of Cooks Knob, a singular rise that anchors the otherwise level sky. A mile to the east, Beaverdam Creek carves a thin, vital vein through the terrain, its banks lined with the modest, hardy vegetation that thrives in this central corridor. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, turning the fields into a deep, bruised violet before the stars assert themselves over the open plains.
Railroad tracks remain the primary artery of La Monte, serving as a persistent reminder of the mid-nineteenth-century expansion that brought commerce to this intersection of land and transit. Agriculture dictates the rhythm of the days, with the local economy tethered to the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest that ripple through the community like wind across tall grass. While the stillness of the region suggests a permanent pause, the proximity of Unknown Park, seven miles distant, provides a quiet sanctuary of untamed space, and the waters of Horseshoe Lake offer a rare, reflective break in the topography thirteen miles away. Life in La Monte moves with a deliberate, plain-spoken gravity, shaped by the sturdy work of those who cultivate the land and the enduring, practical silence of the high plains.

About This La Monte Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Monte, Missouri. Coordinates: 38.774181, -93.42521. 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 La Monte includes the ZIP code (65337), telephone area code (573), county seat of Pettis County (Sedalia), and school district assignment (La Monte R-IV 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.
