Explore Russellville, 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 Russellville, 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 Russellville.
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.

Russellville occupies a quiet expanse of the Missouri interior, where the land stretches out in a series of modest, cultivated swells defined by the slow transition from open prairie to thickets of hardwood. It lies 21.7 miles east-northeast of Excelsior Springs, MO (from Excelsior Springs, MO: bearing 77°T), and is situated 11.8 miles northeast of Richmond. Sunlight here carries a particular, heavy clarity, turning the fields of late summer into a mosaic of pale ochre and deep, bruised green that seems to hold the warmth long after the sun has retreated. To the west, the subtle topography of the terrain finds its most distinct articulation in the distant rise of Yankee Ridge, a faint, serrated line against the horizon that anchors the vast sky. Nearby, the quiet course of West Fork Wakenda Creek carves a narrow, shaded artery through the soil, while the still, shadowed surface of Number 170 Reservoir waits five miles away, reflecting the passage of slow-moving clouds in its dark, glassy depths.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with the rhythm of the seasons dictating the movement of heavy machinery and the quiet labor of the harvest. Families who have worked this dirt for generations maintain the steady, pragmatic pace of the Show-Me state, a philosophy that favors plain-spoken honesty and a deep, quiet connection to the land over outward display. Visitors seeking the stillness of the natural world often find their way to the Wagner (Frank E.) Conservation Area, where the native brush and timber offer a sanctuary for local wildlife and a reprieve from the grid of section roads. In Russellville, the days are measured not by the clock, but by the lengthening of shadows across the barn siding and the specific, cooling shift in the air that signals the coming of dusk across the open plains.

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.
