How to Use This Wasola, Missouri Map

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

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 Wasola, Missouri

Wasola is a locality in Ozark County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 115. The population density is 8.4 people per km². Wasola is located at 36.7782°N, 92.5675°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 65773.

Wasola occupies a modest stretch of the Missouri landscape where the terrain begins to rise into the rugged, limestone-streaked topography typical of the Ozarks. It lies 37.1 miles east-northeast of Branson, MO (from Branson, MO: bearing 74°T), and is situated 11.9 miles south-southeast of Ava. Turkey Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the immediate vicinity, its waters reflecting the canopy of the nearby Mark Twain National Forest, which stands as a silent sentinel just a mile from the center of the settlement. To the west, the distant profile of Graham Knob breaks the horizon, while the terrain dips into the quiet, shadowed depths of Smith Hollow, where the air often holds a lingering, cool dampness long after the sun has climbed above the ridge. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, casting long, violet shadows across the fields that make the earth seem older and more deliberate than the hurried pace of the modern world would suggest.

Wasola traces its character to the settlers who recognized the utility of the creek and the fertility of the surrounding soil, establishing a life tethered to the cycles of agriculture and timber. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, supported by the proximity of the Mark Twain National Forest and the enduring rhythms of rural enterprise. While the larger expanse of Bull Shoals Lake waits twelve miles away, the daily existence in Wasola remains grounded in the immediate, terrestrial concerns of the hills and the seasonal shifts that dictate the labor of the residents. There is a plain-spoken resilience in the way the local architecture clings to the slopes, a testament to a history of self-reliance where the community has always looked toward its own resources rather than the fleeting promises of the outside world.

About This Wasola Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wasola, Missouri. Coordinates: 36.778227, -92.567454. 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 Wasola includes the ZIP code (65773), telephone area code (417), county seat of Ozark County (Gainesville), and school district assignment (Ava 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.
