Explore Parkdale, 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 Parkdale, 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 Parkdale.
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.

Parkdale occupies a stretch of land defined by the persistent, winding path of Burlington Creek, which carves its way through the local terrain with quiet purpose. It lies 5.1 miles west of Gladstone, MO (from Gladstone, MO: bearing 259°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northwest of Kansas City. The landscape here is characterized by the soft, steady rise of the earth, leading toward the subtle elevation of Arsenal Hill in the distance, while the nearby Northwood Park offers a preserved pocket of greenery for those who walk its paths. In the cool hours of the morning, a fine mist often clings to the low-lying areas, blurring the line between the sky and the dark, fertile soil that characterizes this part of the state. Those who frequent the area find a particular stillness near the banks of the creek, where the water reflects the changing colors of the seasons, turning from the pale, brittle browns of late autumn to a vibrant, deep green when the spring rains arrive.
Parkdale maintains a pace of life that favors steady industry and the quiet maintenance of its neighborhood character, far removed from the louder, busier centers of commerce. The economy remains tethered to the regional patterns of trade and small-scale enterprise, reflecting a heritage of industrious settlers who recognized the value of the surrounding plains and the nearby reach of Happy Hollow. While residents often look toward the wider horizons of the state, many find their recreation at Wyandotte County Lake, a destination that draws those seeking a reprieve from the daily routine. The identity of Parkdale is formed by this blend of practical labor and the simple, enduring beauty of the Midwestern landscape, creating a place where the rhythm of the day is marked not by grand events, but by the passage of the sun across the wide, open sky.

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.
