Explore Baileyville, Kansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Baileyville, 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 Baileyville.
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.

Baileyville emerges from the expansive Kansas plains as a quiet intersection of sky and soil, defined by an horizon that stretches until the curvature of the earth feels tangible. It lies 50.1 miles north-northeast of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 24°T), and is situated 6.5 miles west of Seneca. The landscape is dominated by the rhythmic sway of grasses and the low, persistent sigh of wind moving across open acreage. Two miles away, the South Fork Wildcat Creek carves a thin, verdant ribbon through the earth, its banks lined with the gnarled silhouettes of cottonwoods that catch the bruised purples of a dying sun. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain rises in subtle, ancient undulations, while the distant, hazy prominence of Albany Hill anchors the northwestern view, providing a singular, stationary landmark in an otherwise fluid topography.
Baileyville retains the stoic character of a place built upon the labor of the plow and the persistence of the harvest. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of wheat and grain, a rhythm that dictates the pace of life from the first green shoots of spring to the golden exhaustion of autumn. While the Nemaha Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary for the native fauna nine miles away and Sabetha City Lake provides a quiet expanse of water fifteen miles to the east, the daily pulse of Baileyville is measured by the steady hum of machinery and the enduring presence of historic, unadorned architecture. Here, the light at dusk holds a particular clarity, sharpening the edges of the grain silos and casting long, melancholic shadows that seem to stretch back toward the foundations of the early settlers who first broke this stubborn, fertile ground.

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.
