Missouri: shape, counties and terrain

Missouri spans about 362 miles from east to west and 319 miles from north to south, with 68,746 square miles of land. Its outline is irregular: the state fills only 61% of the box drawn around it on the map. The boundary is a single piece of land with no islands.

Missouri has 115 county-level areas: 114 counties and 1 independent city. The largest by land area is Texas County (1,177 sq mi) and the smallest is St. Louis city (62 sq mi). The capital, Jefferson City, sits at 630 ft downtown (USGS).

Elevation runs from 230 ft (70 m) on the Saint Francis River to 1,772 ft (540 m) at Taum Sauk Mountain in Iron County, a range of 1,542 ft. The sampled average is about 836 ft.

On the relief map's elevation grid, 12% of the state lies below 500 ft, 60% between 500 and 1,000 ft and 27% between 1,000 and 1,500 ft and 1% above 1,500 ft. Split from west to east into thirds, the western third averages 1,012 ft, the central third 898 ft and the eastern third 558 ft, so the land is highest in the western third and lowest in the eastern third.

How teachers and students can use these maps

  • Blank map: label Jefferson City, the capital, and the largest cities, then check them against the cities map. Older students can draw in rivers or mountain ranges from an atlas.
  • County map: find your own county among the 115. The labeled version works as an answer key; the blank one as a quiz.
  • Cities map: Jefferson City to Cape Girardeau is about 167 miles in a straight line. Measure it with the scale bar and see how close you get.
  • Elevation map: find Taum Sauk Mountain (1,772 ft) and the Saint Francis River (230 ft), and work out the difference: 1,542 ft. Then use the legend to estimate the elevation of your town and check it with our elevation tool.
  • Printing: each map has a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF. The PDFs are vector files, so lines and labels stay sharp at any size. The outline maps use very little ink in black and white.
