Topographic Quadrangle Maps
Topographic maps of Missouri are highly detailed maps of the Missouri landscape, showing hills, valleys, forest cover, roads, streams, houses, barns, etc. Topographic quadrangle maps should be ordered by name, because there are more than a thousand individual maps available. Many areas are covered by maps of three scales: 7.5, 30' x 60', 1º x 2º. Please refer to the Index to Topographic Maps of Missouri (free upon request), then order by quadrangle name and map scale. Quad listing for 7.5-minute Missouri topographic quadrangles.
7.5' TOPOGRAPHIC QUADRANGLE MAPS ARE $8
EACH. 30' X 60' and 1º x 2º Maps are $7.
Order online, 24/7!
NOTE: Topographic quadrangle maps do not follow
county boundaries, but they can be pieced together to make county maps.
However, for those who do not need the extreme detail provided by topographic
maps, the County Highway Maps offered by the Missouri Department of Transportation
Commission may be acceptable. These can be purchased from DGLS for $1
each.
