==Geography==
Cuba is located along Interstate 44 in north-central Crawford County, crossed from north to south by Missouri State Highway 19. Historic U.S. 66 parallels the interstate just to the southeast, crossing through the central business district. Cuba is about seven miles northwest of [[Steelville, Missouri|Steelville]] and twelve miles northeast of [[St. James, Missouri|St. James]]. Its exact coordinates are 38°03’47”N 91°24’12”W.
The city lies between the relatively open "prairie" lands to the north and the comparatively rugged upper Meramec valley to the south. An artificial reservoir, Indian Lake, is located about a mile to the northwest. Cuba has a total area of 3.20 square miles, and an average elevation of 1,001 feet.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120125061959/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt</ref>
