Explore Pierce City, 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 Pierce 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 Pierce 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.

Pierce City emerges from the limestone-rich earth of southwestern Missouri, defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Clear Creek as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 21.0 miles east-northeast of Neosho, MO (from Neosho, MO: bearing 75°T), and is situated 4.4 miles west-northwest of Monett. The horizon is punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouette of Bennett Ridge, while the immediate terrain offers a subtle interplay of pasture and dense woodland that shifts color with the turning seasons. Here, the air carries a crisp, earthen clarity, especially when the golden light of late afternoon catches the tall grasses along the banks of Clear Creek, turning the water into a ribbon of burnished copper. Beyond the immediate town limits, the land stretches toward the serene expanse of Bleuins Lake, providing a quiet reprieve from the modest industry that has long anchored the local rhythm.
Pierce City preserves a character forged by the arrival of the railroad, which once funneled the energy of commerce and migration into the heart of the settlement. The local economy maintains a steady pulse, rooted in the agricultural traditions of the surrounding plains and the quiet diligence of those who navigate the daily requirements of a Midwestern life. Residents often look toward the nearby acreage of Monett North Park for recreation, finding a communal space that mirrors the stillness of Pleasant Valley, which rests just a few miles away. There is a perceptible dignity in the architecture of the older streets, where brick facades hold the memory of past decades, and the pace of life remains tethered to the slow, deliberate turn of the sun over the Missouri fields.

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.
