How to Use This Ashland, Kansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ashland, 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 Ashland.
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.

ZIP code: 67831.Ashland emerges from the wide, amber expanse of the high plains, defined by the persistent, unblinking clarity of the Kansas sky. It lies 41.3 miles south-southeast of Dodge City, KS (from Dodge City, KS: bearing 160°T), and is situated 56.1 miles north-northwest of Woodward. Bear Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth nearby, marked by the silver-gray skeletons of cottonwoods that lean into the wind. To the west, the horizon catches the faint, jagged suggestion of Devils Backbone, a reminder of the rugged shifts in terrain that break the flat, wheat-strewn monotony. The air here holds a distinct, dry crispness, cooling rapidly as the sun drops behind the prairie, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the grasses and emphasize the quiet weight of the open space.
Ashland maintains a steady, deliberate pace, anchored by the limestone courthouse that serves as the administrative pulse of the region. The economy remains rooted in the soil, with the daily rhythms of local life dictated by the cycles of harvest and the demands of the cattle trade. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the landscape invites exploration at the Big Basin Prairie Preserve, where the earth drops away into geological depressions that echo a wilder, ancient history. Residents often travel to Clark County State Lake to find a moment of stillness by the water, a reprieve from the relentless sweep of the wind that defines the character of the plains. Life in Ashland persists with a quiet dignity, shaped by the memory of seasons past and the enduring, stoic resilience of those who tend the land.

About This Ashland Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ashland, Kansas. Coordinates: 37.188638, -99.765683. 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 Ashland includes the ZIP code (67831), telephone area code (785), county seat of Clark County (Ashland), and school district assignment (Ashland Unified School District 220).
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.
