Explore McCord Bend, 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 McCord Bend, 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 McCord Bend.
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.

McCord Bend defines the slow, deliberate turn of the James River as it carves a limestone path through the dense Missouri landscape. It lies 18.6 miles west-northwest of Branson, MO (from Branson, MO: bearing 302°T), and is situated 17.4 miles southeast of Aurora. The water moves with a heavy, deliberate grace, hugging the curves of the earth before broadening into the expanse of Table Rock Lake. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain rises into steep, timbered ridges that define the horizon, their slopes cloaked in the deep, unyielding green of the Ozark brush. Sunlight here does not merely illuminate; it settles into the hollows, turning the mist that rises from Powder Mill Hollow into a soft, bruised purple at the edges of the day.
History in McCord Bend is written in the silence of the land, where the remnants of early homesteads have long since surrendered to the persistent growth of cedar and oak. The local economy persists in a quiet alignment with the rhythm of the Table Rock Recreation Area, drawing those who seek the stillness of the water rather than the clamor of modern commerce. Life here moves according to the season, dictated by the rising levels of the James River and the shifting shadows cast by the high, wooded bluffs. It is a place where the work of the day is measured not by the clock, but by the steady, cooling draft that carries the scent of damp earth and limestone across the fields as evening takes hold.

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.
