Explore Mindenmines, 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 Mindenmines, 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 Mindenmines.
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.

Mindenmines stretches across a flat, open expanse of Missouri where the horizon remains wide and unencumbered by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Rombaugh Hills. It lies 23.5 miles north-northwest of Webb City, MO (from Webb City, MO: bearing 343°T), and is situated 7.6 miles east-northeast of Pittsburg. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, hitting the tall grasses of the Shawnee Trail Conservation Area with a golden intensity that defines the long afternoons. The landscape is marked by the quiet presence of Glendale Fork, which carves a modest path through the earth, while the nearby Lester R Davis Memorial State Forest provides a dense, wooded contrast to the surrounding prairie. A stillness hangs over the soil, punctuated by the occasional mirror-like surface of Gardner Farms Lake, which reflects the shifting clouds of a vast, uninterrupted sky.
Mindenmines carries the weight of a coal-mining legacy that once surged through the local economy, leaving behind a geography altered by the industry of previous generations. The rhythm of daily life moves with a deliberate, plain-spoken grace, reflecting the resilience of those who settled this corner of the plains. While the era of heavy extraction has faded, the character of the people remains tied to the land’s stubborn, quiet productivity. Residents might travel as far as the Franklin Sidewalk to walk in a different setting, but the core of the local spirit stays rooted here, where the legacy of the mines is slowly being reclaimed by the steady, patient growth of the Missouri wild.

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.
