How to Use This North Kansas City, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for North Kansas City, 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 North Kansas City.
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 North Kansas City, Missouri
North Kansas City is a locality in Clay County, Missouri, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,467. The population density is 394.4 people per km². North Kansas City is located at 39.1396°N, 94.5648°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. North Kansas City is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 64116.North Kansas City defines the industrial edge of the Missouri River, where the wide, silty current pushes against a landscape of low-slung, utilitarian brick and heavy steel. It lies 2.3 miles north-northeast of Kansas City, MO (from Kansas City, MO: bearing 23°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west-northwest of Independence. To the north, the land rises into the gentle, sun-baked plains, while the low-lying basin of French Bottom occupies the damp, fertile ground nearby. A quiet, golden light often settles over the industrial corridors at dusk, catching the glint of freight lines and the long, sharp shadows cast by the warehouses. In the distance, the faint, hazy outline of Badger Ridge marks the horizon, a reminder of the rugged earth that defines this inland expanse. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Chaumiere Lake hold the reflection of the sky, offering a muted stillness that contrasts with the constant, low-frequency hum of regional commerce.
North Kansas City grew from a deliberate vision of manufacturing and rail-bound prosperity, its grid meticulously plotted to serve the heavy machinery and distribution networks that have long fueled the local economy. The architecture remains a sturdy reflection of this purpose, with renovated storefronts and mid-century facades housing modern enterprise alongside the older, soot-stained heritage of the rail yards. Residents often gather at Berkley Park to look out over the water, finding a brief reprieve where the urban frame meets the riverbank. While the distant, historic route of the Oregon Trail once drew pioneers across the vast interior, North Kansas City now maintains a steady, industrious pace, blending the grit of its founding years with the plain-spoken character of a region that has always relied on the strength of its hands and the reliability of its geography.

About This North Kansas City Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of North Kansas City, Missouri. Coordinates: 39.139558, -94.56475. 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 North Kansas City includes the ZIP code (64116), telephone area code (816), county seat of Clay County (Liberty), and school district assignment (North Kansas City 74 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.
