How to Use This Mine La Motte, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Mine La Motte, 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 Mine La Motte.
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 Mine La Motte, Missouri
Mine La Motte is a locality in Madison County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 364. The population density is 43.0 people per km². Mine La Motte is located at 37.6156°N, 90.2898°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 63645.Mine La Motte emerges from the verdant, uneven terrain of the Missouri interior, defined by the persistent, winding course of the Sweetwater Branch that carves a path through the humid, timbered landscape. It lies 13.5 miles south-southeast of Farmington, MO (from Farmington, MO: bearing 148°T), and is situated 3.9 miles north of Fredericktown. The ground here shifts in elevation, rising toward the modest height of Little Peg Knob two miles to the west, while the horizon is marked by the encroaching shadows of the Fredericktown Ranger District. Light in this region possesses a heavy, amber quality during the late afternoon, catching the mineral-rich dust that lingers over the basin of Seton Hollow. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the land settles into a quiet, terrestrial stillness, far removed from any maritime influence, favoring instead the deep, quiet gravity of the inland woods and the slow, deliberate movement of local creeks.
Mine La Motte bears the weight of a long tenure defined by the extraction of lead, an industry that once dictated the pulse of the earth and the rhythm of those who labored beneath its surface. The legacy of these early excavations remains a quiet ghost in the landscape, a reminder of the frontier spirit that sought fortune in the dark, heavy veins of the soil. Residents today look toward the nearby Fredericktown City Lake for recreation, finding a communal stillness that contrasts with the industrial echoes of the past. The pace of life here adheres to an older, internal clock, indifferent to the hurried progress of distant urban centers, moving instead with the steady, unyielding patience of a place that has long since made its peace with the quiet, persistent earth.

About This Mine La Motte Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Mine La Motte, Missouri. Coordinates: 37.615608, -90.289841. 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 Mine La Motte includes the ZIP code (63645), telephone area code (816), county seat of Madison County (Fredericktown), and school district assignment (Fredericktown R-I 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.
