How to Use This Oakwood, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Oakwood, 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 Oakwood.
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: 63401, 64118.Oakwood emerges from the landscape where the quiet currents of Bear Creek carve a path through the earth, marking the boundary of a region defined by the deep, persistent silence of the Midwest. It lies 2.6 miles southwest of Hannibal, MO (from Hannibal, MO: bearing 232°T), and is situated 17.3 miles south of Quincy. The land here settles into the contours of Rickey Hollow, a natural basin that holds the cool, heavy air of evening long after the sun has slipped behind the distant, hazy silhouette of Cedar Ridge. A mile away, the surface of Bear Creek Reservoir remains a flat, dark mirror, reflecting the heavy clouds that often congregate over the plains. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, bruised quality, turning the grasses a muted shade of gold before the shadows swallow the hollow, emphasizing the raw, unadorned physicality of the terrain.
History in Oakwood feels less like a record of events and more like the stubborn persistence of a few families who recognized the value in the fertile, stubborn soil. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of the land, with the nearby Huckleberry Park serving as a communal space where the pace of life slows to match the movement of the seasons. Residents move with a plain-spoken efficiency, shaped by generations of labor that prioritized utility over ornament. While the bustle of larger regional centers feels worlds away, the distinct identity of Oakwood is maintained by the quiet stewardship of its people and the steady, unassuming presence of the water that sustains the valley floor.

About This Oakwood Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oakwood, Missouri. Coordinates: 39.20049, -94.570504. 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 Oakwood includes the ZIP code (63401, 64118), telephone area code (314, 816), county seat of Marion County (Palmyra), 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.
