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 occupies a quiet expanse of land where the persistent, low-slung course of Mill Creek defines the local horizon. It lies 1.6 miles southwest of Jennings, MO (from Jennings, MO: bearing 230°T), and is situated 7.0 miles northwest of St. Louis. The earth here holds a heavy, dark moisture, giving way to the sprawling greenery of Flora Park, which serves as the primary tether for the neighborhood’s open space. To the west, the distant profile of Badger Ridge rises against the sky like a serrated blade, while the local light at dusk often turns the fields a bruised, deep violet. A mile away, the surface of Zajic Lake remains still, acting as a glass that catches the shifting clouds before they drift toward the distant, unseen dip of French Bottom.
Generations have measured the passage of time in Oakwood by the seasonal rhythms of the soil and the steady, unpretentious labor that keeps the local economy anchored to the surrounding plains. The town maintains a plain-spoken character, forged by the practical demands of its early settlers who favored the fertile, stubborn dirt over the uncertain promises of the frontier. Life moves with a deliberate pace, punctuated by the hum of machinery and the quiet maintenance of properties that have stood through decades of Missouri summers. There is a particular clarity in the air here, a sharpness that suggests a place unconcerned with the noise of the outside world, focusing instead on the honest work of the day and the long shadows cast by the trees as the sun retreats behind the western rise.

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 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.
