Explore Bentley, 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 Bentley, 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 Bentley.
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.

Bentley anchors itself firmly into the flat, expansive horizon of the Kansas plains, where the sky claims more territory than the earth below. It lies 14.5 miles southwest of Newton, KS (from Newton, KS: bearing 220°T), and is situated 8.6 miles west-northwest of Valley Center. The land here stretches out in a quiet, relentless geometry of agricultural fields, broken only by the occasional cluster of trees or the sudden, sharp verticality of a grain elevator. A few miles to the east, the Arkansas River marks the landscape with its slow, meandering path, carving a subtle depression through the silt and soil that defines the regional topography. During the long, golden hours of late afternoon, the light flattens across the stubble of harvested crops, casting long, thin shadows that lend the terrain a temporary, fragile depth before the sun dips below the edge of the world.
Bentley maintains a character forged by the steady, cyclical demands of farming and the modest requirements of rural commerce. History here is written in the soil and the persistent, restless wind that shapes the rhythm of the work day, favoring those who find purpose in the maintenance of heavy machinery and the seasonal pulse of the harvest. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of Wetland Park for a respite from the intensity of the open fields, or observe the distant, shimmering surface of Wilson Lake when the heat of mid-summer demands a change in the air. Life in Bentley moves with a deliberate, unadorned precision, defined by a community that recognizes the value of silence and the quiet endurance required to thrive on the high plains.

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.
