How to Use This Wortham, Missouri Map

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

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 Wortham, Missouri

Wortham is a locality in St. Francois County, Missouri, United States. It is a small community with a population of 197. The population density is 85.4 people per km². Wortham is located at 37.8445°N, 90.6087°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 63601.

Wortham occupies a quiet stretch of Missouri earth where the land leans into the slow, deliberate work of the seasons. It lies 11.1 miles west-northwest of Farmington, MO (from Farmington, MO: bearing 293°T), and is situated 5.0 miles west of Park Hills. The terrain here holds a stubborn, weathered character, defined by low-slung rises and the persistent, wandering path of Hayden Creek, which carves a modest silver vein through the heavy soil just a mile from the center. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Redman Ridge anchors the horizon, while the cooling air at dusk settles over the fields like a fine, gray veil. Nearby, the quiet surface of Donald Straus Lake catches the dying light, reflecting a sky that seems wider and more watchful here than in the crowded places further east.

Wortham grew from the iron-willed efforts of those who turned the stubborn ground to industry, leaving behind a legacy of hard-won resilience that still informs the local pace. While the economy has shifted away from the intensive extraction of earlier decades, the spirit of the region remains tied to the land and the nearby Leadwood Access, where the quietude of the woods offers a reprieve from the persistent hum of the modern world. Life in Wortham moves with the steady, unadorned cadence of the prairie, marked by a plain-spoken sincerity that avoids unnecessary ornament. The people here understand that their history is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring way the afternoon sun hits the timber and the way the community keeps its own counsel, patient and observant under the vast, shifting canopy of the Midwest sky.

About This Wortham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wortham, Missouri. Coordinates: 37.844495, -90.608738. 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 Wortham includes the ZIP code (63601), telephone area code (816), county seat of St. Francois County (Farmington), and school district assignment (West St. Francois County R-IV 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.
