Explore Sunset Hills, 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 Sunset Hills, 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 Sunset Hills.
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.

Sunset Hills occupies a landscape defined by the quiet grace of the Missouri interior, where the land rises and falls in long, gentle swells of earth. It lies 1.9 miles southwest of Crestwood, MO (from Crestwood, MO: bearing 228°T), and is situated 7.3 miles northwest of Oakville. The terrain surrounding Sunset Hills remains marked by the persistent flow of Mattese Creek, which carves a modest path through the local woodland. Residents often look toward the distant horizon where the Crescent Hills emerge as a faint, gray silhouette against the changing sky. During the cooler seasons, the atmosphere holds a crisp, clear quality that sharpens the edges of the trees and fields. Those seeking the stillness of open water often travel five miles to reach the Fon-Du-Lac Reservoir. Within the borders of Sunset Hills, the local environment finds its most accessible expression at Watson Trail Park, an expanse of green that invites a slower pace of movement.
Sunset Hills grew from the foundational shifts of mid-twentieth-century development, transforming from quiet acreage into a deliberate residential landscape. The local economy relies on a blend of service-oriented businesses and regional commerce that keeps the pace of daily life steady and industrious. Much of the professional activity in Sunset Hills reflects the broader patterns of the St. Louis metropolitan orbit, drawing energy from the diverse industries that sustain the region. Small enterprises and retail centers provide the necessary infrastructure for a population that values both accessibility and relative seclusion. The character of the local workforce leans toward a practical, plain-spoken diligence that honors the heritage of the surrounding plains. By maintaining a balance between modern convenience and the preservation of open space, Sunset Hills keeps its economic identity anchored in steady, manageable growth.
The cultural spirit of Sunset Hills reflects the varied threads of Midwestern history, where the influence of German, Italian, and Bohemian ancestors lingers in the traditions of the dinner table. Life here moves with a rhythm dictated by the changing light of the seasons, particularly at dusk when the sun casts a golden hue over the suburban architecture. Residents gather for local seasonal events at Watson Trail Park, which serves as a primary venue for communal recreation and shared outdoor experiences. While the town remains a quiet participant in the wider state culture, it acknowledges the legacy of figures like Mark Twain, whose literary voice captured the essential nature of the regional spirit. Sunset Hills maintains a character that is unassuming yet firmly rooted in the daily lives of its people. This sense of place is felt most keenly in the quiet morning hours, when the neighborhood streets stand still before the day begins in earnest.

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.
