How to Use This Ridgedale, Missouri Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ridgedale, 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 Ridgedale.

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.

About Ridgedale, Missouri

Ridgedale is a locality in Taney County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Ridgedale is located at 36.5040°N, 93.2238°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 65739.

Ridgedale emerges from the limestone-heavy terrain of the Ozarks as a quiet intersection of dense hardwood groves and the persistent, low-slung geography of the Missouri interior. It lies 9.7 miles south of Branson, MO (from Branson, MO: bearing 182°T), and is situated 8.1 miles south of Hollister. The landscape is defined by the constant, rhythmic presence of the Blair Branch, which carves a narrow, winding path through the brush, its waters reflecting the shifting gray and amber hues of the canopy overhead. Three miles away, the expansive basin of Gum Spring Hollow creates a natural sink for the heavy morning mists, while the distant, shadowed silhouette of Baird Mountain anchors the horizon against the wide, unyielding sky. The air here holds a distinct, earthy weight, smelling of damp shale and decaying oak leaves, a scent that seems to deepen as the sun dips behind the ridge lines and the temperature drops with the suddenness of a closing door.

Ridgedale maintains a character forged by the slow, deliberate pace of agrarian roots and the modern, intermittent pulse of the nearby Table Rock Lake recreation area. Local life revolves around the seasonal rhythms of the hinterlands, where the economy remains tied to the stewardship of the land and the modest hospitality offered to those traveling through the interior corridors. History here is not kept in grand monuments, but in the enduring, plain-spoken resilience of those who cultivate the thin topsoil and manage the timbered slopes that define the region. Every afternoon, the light catches the limestone outcroppings in a way that flattens the color into a singular, pale brilliance, illuminating the quiet persistence of a place that has long preferred the shade of its own woods to the noise of the outside world.

About This Ridgedale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ridgedale, Missouri. Coordinates: 36.503954, -93.223792. 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 Ridgedale includes the ZIP code (65739), telephone area code (417), county seat of Taney County (Forsyth), and school district assignment.

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.
