How to Use This La Tour, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Tour, 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 Tour.
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 Tour, Missouri
La Tour is a locality in Johnson County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 65. The population density is 228.2 people per km². La Tour is located at 38.6348°N, 94.1017°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 64747.La Tour marks the quiet convergence of prairie expanse and the slow, deliberate movement of the Camp Branch as it carves a path through the earth. It lies 21.6 miles west-southwest of Warrensburg, MO (from Warrensburg, MO: bearing 246°T), and is situated 13.4 miles east of Harrisonville. The horizon toward the south suggests the distant, hazy silhouette of Devil Ridge, providing a permanent, muted boundary against the vast Midwestern sky. In the golden hour, the light settles heavily upon the tall grasses, turning the landscape into a study of amber and deep umber shadows that stretch across the fields. The air carries a stillness that feels ancient, punctuated only by the subtle rustle of vegetation along the waterway and the occasional song of meadowlarks claiming the open space as their own.
La Tour maintains an economy tethered to the cycles of the soil, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of labor and the quiet industry of the inhabitants. Long ago, the promise of fertile ground drew settlers to this stretch of the plains, establishing a legacy of agricultural endurance that persists in the orderly rows of crops surrounding the houses. Those who seek a deeper communion with the local flora often journey to the Harter (James R.) Conservation Area, a sanctuary where the land remains largely untamed and reflective of the region’s original character. On days when the sky turns a bruised violet, the proximity of Rock Island Lake offers a cooling influence, grounding the spirit of La Tour in the quiet, steady presence of its modest but essential natural surroundings.

About This La Tour Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Tour, Missouri. Coordinates: 38.6348, -94.1017. 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 Tour includes the ZIP code (64747), telephone area code (816), county seat of Johnson County (Warrensburg), and school district assignment (Holden R-III 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.
