How to Use This Oakland, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oakland, 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 Oakland.
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.

ZIP codes: 65536, 63122.Oakland occupies a quiet expanse of the Missouri landscape, defined by the persistent, winding path of Gravois Creek as it cuts through the terrain. It lies 1.2 miles east-southeast of Kirkwood, MO (from Kirkwood, MO: bearing 113°T), and is situated 8.6 miles north-northwest of Oakville. The earth here holds a patient, terrestrial stillness, where the low-slung horizon hints at the distant presence of the Crescent Hills. Within the boundaries of Oakland, Loewnau Park provides a sheltered green space where the light at dusk catches the leaves, turning the canopy into a flickering mosaic of amber and deep shadow. The air carries the scent of damp soil and drying grass, a grounded atmosphere that persists even as the shadows lengthen across the suburban topography.
History informs the character of Oakland, reflecting the steady development of a region shaped by its proximity to the commercial currents of St. Louis. The local economy persists as a blend of residential stability and service-oriented enterprise, maintaining a pace that favors deliberate, everyday movement over the frantic pulse of larger hubs. Residents move through their routines with a plain-spoken sincerity, mindful of the geography that anchors them—from the nearby waters of Lake of the Woods to the far-reaching influence of the regional plains. In the quiet intersections of the neighborhood, one finds a particular resilience, a sense of place forged not by grand spectacle, but by the persistent, unremarkable rhythm of life unfolding beside the banks of Gravois Creek.

About This Oakland Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakland, Missouri. Coordinates: 38.576835, -90.384921. 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 Oakland includes the ZIP code (65536, 63122), telephone area code (573, 314), county seat of St. Louis County (Clayton), and school district assignment (Kirkwood R-VII 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.
