How to Use This Wellington, Missouri Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wellington, 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 Wellington.
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 Wellington, Missouri
Wellington is a locality in Lafayette County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 738. The population density is 261.4 people per km². Wellington is located at 39.1342°N, 93.9827°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Wellington is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 64097.Wellington rises from the fertile Missouri earth with a quiet gravity, defined by the persistent, winding course of Sni-A-Bar Creek that carves a path through the landscape. It lies 14.2 miles northeast of Grain Valley, MO (from Grain Valley, MO: bearing 55°T), and is situated 10.0 miles south of Richmond. The horizon holds the faint, jagged suggestion of Devil Ridge far to the distance, while the immediate terrain leans toward the modest depressions of the Sunshine valley. Sunsets here cast a long, amber clarity over the fields, turning the local soil into a deep, bruised purple as the light wanes. A short journey away, the calm expanse of Lafayette A-21 Lake reflects the shifting clouds, offering a stillness that seems to permeate the very air of the surrounding plains.
Wellington carries the weight of a settlement forged in the practicalities of agriculture and the steady, unadorned labor of the heartland. Generations have worked this ground, where the legacy of German and immigrant arrivals remains etched into the sturdy architecture and the plain-spoken character of the neighbors. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the harvest, a discipline that demands patience and a respect for the seasons. Those seeking a broader horizon often venture toward Irish Town Park to find a reprieve among the trees, yet the spirit of Wellington stays rooted in the daily movement of trucks on rural roads and the slow, deliberate pace of a life lived in accordance with the land.

About This Wellington Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wellington, Missouri. Coordinates: 39.134176, -93.982722. 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 Wellington includes the ZIP code (64097), telephone area code (816), county seat of Lafayette County (Lexington), and school district assignment (Wellington-Napoleon R-IX 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.
