Explore Union, 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 Union, 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 Union.
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.

Union remains a place where the landscape unfolds in a quiet cadence, defined largely by the winding path of Flat Creek as it makes its way through the local terrain. It lies 7.5 miles south of Washington, MO (from Washington, MO: bearing 179°T), and is situated 7.4 miles north-northwest of Saint Clair. The land around Union possesses a subtle, earthen character, marked by the steady transition from the broader plains to the rugged rise of the Ozark hills further south. To the west, the horizon occasionally catches the faint, hazy silhouette of Tuque Ridge, standing as a silent sentinel against the shifting Missouri sky. Residents often find a moment of stillness at Union City Park, where the trees hold the afternoon light in a way that makes the passing hours feel deliberate and slow. Those seeking the cooling presence of water need only travel a short distance to Winter Lake, a quiet retreat from the rhythm of the day.
German, Italian, and Bohemian influences have long shaped the identity of Union, weaving a practical, plain-spoken resilience into the local way of life. The economy here grew from these industrious roots, moving from early agricultural foundations into a diversified landscape of manufacturing and regional trade. Union maintains a steady pace, where the labor of the day is met with a grounded sense of purpose that respects the past while tending to current needs. In the quiet corners of the valley, one can still hear the echoes of the small-town traditions that define the regional character of this part of Missouri. The work ethic remains as firm as the soil, supporting a community that values both its heritage and its capacity for future growth.
Cultural life in Union finds its center in the shared gatherings and local events that bring neighbors together throughout the changing seasons. Union City Park serves as a frequent site for these communal moments, acting as a green anchor for the public spirit. While the town remains modest in scale, its residents carry a quiet pride, often pointing to the local landmarks that mark their history and daily progress. The atmosphere at dusk, when the shadows stretch long across the fields, reveals a particular grace in the way the local light settles over the buildings and the land. Though it does not claim fame through distant celebrities, the strength of the people who call this place home provides a lasting character that defines their identity.

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.
