How to Use This Sundown, Missouri Map

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

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 Sundown, Missouri

Sundown is a locality in Ozark County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 62. The population density is 16.4 people per km². Sundown is located at 36.5665°N, 92.6368°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 65761.

Sundown emerges from the limestone bedrock of the Ozarks where the horizon is defined by the heavy, silent weight of Coffee Ridge in the distance. It lies 32.7 miles east of Branson, MO (from Branson, MO: bearing 99°T), and is situated 21.2 miles northwest of Mountain Home. The landscape here is carved by the persistence of water, dropping away into the limestone basin of Wells Hollow while the Little North Fork White River carves a serpentine path through the karst terrain nearby. Sunlight in Sundown possesses a peculiar, syrupy quality during the final hour of the day, catching the dust motes and the limestone outcroppings until the entire valley glows with a pale, bruised amber. At the edge of the settlement, the waters of Bull Shoals Lake stretch out, a vast and quiet presence that dictates the slow, deliberate pulse of the environment.

Sundown maintains a quiet economy tethered to the land and the visitors who arrive seeking the solace of the Bull Shoals Recreation Area. The history of the settlement is written in the stubborn endurance of the families who first cleared these hardwood thickets, their legacy persisting in the weathered barns and the persistent, plain-spoken manner of the residents. While the bustle of larger Missouri hubs feels distant, the daily life of Sundown remains anchored to the rhythms of the seasons and the maintenance of the infrastructure surrounding the reservoir. People here favor a life of measured work, moving with a gravity that acknowledges both the difficult terrain and the quiet, enduring beauty of the hills that keep the rest of the world at bay.

About This Sundown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sundown, Missouri. Coordinates: 36.566453, -92.636833. 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 Sundown includes the ZIP code (65761), telephone area code (417), county seat of Ozark County (Gainesville), and school district assignment (Lutie R-VI 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.
