Explore Mineral Point, 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 Mineral Point, 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 Mineral Point.
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.

Mineral Point occupies a rugged fold of the Missouri landscape where the earth yields to the quiet persistent flow of Mill Creek. It lies 20.0 miles northwest of Farmington, MO (from Farmington, MO: bearing 305°T), and is situated 9.3 miles west of Bonne Terre. This waterway traces a path through the terrain, carving a narrow passage that defines the local topography and guides the drainage of the surrounding woods. To the distance, the silhouette of Redman Ridge rises against the horizon, providing a permanent, jagged backdrop to the shifting seasonal light. A few miles away, the landscape dips into the quiet seclusion of Long Hollow, while the stillness of the Keyes Branch Mine Tailings Pond reflects the pale sky, offering a stark reminder of the geological depth beneath the soil. The air here holds a distinct, cool clarity, especially when the sun dips low and casts long, amber shadows across the rocky ground, momentarily softening the hard edges of the hills.
Mineral Point emerged from the industrious pursuit of the earth's buried wealth, a history etched into the very soil that once drew laborers to its extraction sites. While the clamor of past mining operations has long since faded, the legacy of that era remains a silent undercurrent in the way the residents move through their days, favoring a steady and modest pace of life. Modern commerce and community life find a focal point in the quietude of Bilderback Park, a space that serves as a common ground for those who call Mineral Point home. The economy has transitioned from its extractive roots, yet the character of the place persists in its plain-spoken resilience and the way the neighborhood lanes follow the natural contours of the land. It is a place where the seasons dictate the rhythm of the day, and the slow, deliberate work of maintaining a small-town life remains the primary pursuit of its people.

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.
