How to Use This South Gorin, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for South Gorin, 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 South Gorin.
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 code: 63543.South Gorin emerges from the expansive horizon of the Missouri prairie as a quiet collection of structures defined by the vast, open sky and the shifting shades of the tall grasses. It lies 31.6 miles east-northeast of Kirksville, MO (from Kirksville, MO: bearing 69°T), and is situated 16.6 miles west-southwest of Kahoka. The terrain here is shaped by the subtle descent toward Bear Creek, which winds through the low-lying meadows just a mile away, carving a path through the dense, fertile soil. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape remains largely flat, though the faint, jagged silhouette of Deer Ridge lingers twelve miles to the west, a distant ink-stain on the edge of the afternoon light. Sunlight here possesses a particular, heavy clarity, turning the fields to pale gold before the long shadows of evening stretch across the gravel lanes and quiet porches.
South Gorin retains the austere character of an agricultural outpost, its rhythm governed by the seasonal turn of the harvest and the persistent, industrious work of its inhabitants. Nearby, the Ewing (Ella) Lake Conservation Area offers a preserved expanse of woodland and water, providing a sanctuary for wildlife just a short distance from the primary thoroughfares. The presence of the nearby Ella Ewing Reservoir adds a quiet depth to the local geography, serving as a focal point for the surrounding expanse where the land meets the water in a muted, reflective gray. Commerce in South Gorin remains deeply tied to the land, reflecting a legacy of resilience and the plain-spoken endurance of a region that has long looked to its own soil and the steady flow of its creeks for sustenance.

About This South Gorin Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of South Gorin, Missouri. Coordinates: 40.3596, -92.0246. 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 South Gorin includes the ZIP code (63543), telephone area code (816), county seat of Scotland County (Memphis), and school district assignment (Scotland County R-I 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.
