How to Use This Altamont, Kansas Map

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

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.

Altamont occupies a broad, terrestrial expanse where the horizon stretches thin and taut, pulling the eye toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Tackett Mound. It lies 35.9 miles west-southwest of Pittsburg, KS (from Pittsburg, KS: bearing 245°T), and is situated 10.6 miles south of Parsons. The landscape is defined by the steady, unyielding patience of the Kansas plains, where the wind carries the scent of dry soil and the rustle of tallgrass. Only a mile away, Deer Creek carves a quiet, shaded path through the terrain, its banks lined with the silver-leafed shadows of cottonwoods that lean toward the water as if listening to its slow, rhythmic passage. The air here holds a particular clarity at dusk, transforming the golden fields into a vast, glowing geometry that seems to suspend time itself between the cooling earth and the deepening violet of the sky.

Altamont serves as a repository for the quiet industry of the region, where the economy remains deeply anchored to the cycles of the harvest and the persistent labor of the land. Historically, the patterns of settlement here followed the iron lines of the railroad, which once dictated the growth and momentum of the local trade. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the geography opens toward the Big Hill Wildlife Area, a sanctuary where the tallgrass ecosystem thrives in quiet isolation. Residents often look toward the waters of Big Hill Lake for a respite from the intensity of the summer sun, finding in its stillness a reflection of the town’s own measured, deliberate pace. Life in Altamont is measured not by the velocity of change, but by the subtle shifts in the light and the enduring connection to the soil that has sustained the inhabitants for generations.
