Explore Burlington, 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 Burlington, 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 Burlington.
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.

Burlington emerges from the vast, open plains of Kansas where the horizon stretches toward an endless sky, framed by the quiet passage of Rock Creek as it winds through the tallgrass. It lies 27.9 miles east-southeast of Emporia, KS (from Emporia, KS: bearing 121°T), and is situated 26.4 miles northwest of Iola. The earth here carries the weight of a long, sun-drenched history, its soil occasionally catching the silver light that drifts across the prairie before settling into the long shadows of evening. Residents often walk the grounds of Water Tower Park, where the air feels thin and sharp, carrying the scent of dry grass and the distant, low hum of wind moving across the plains. Far to the west, the faint, hazy outline of the Sand Hills creates a jagged interruption against the twilight, serving as a reminder of the rugged terrain that exists far beyond these flat, productive fields.
Burlington serves as a stable anchor for the surrounding agricultural expanse, its economy rooted firmly in the cycles of harvest and the quiet industry of the plains. The local landscape is defined by the proximity of Mathias Lake, a serene expanse of water that offers a cool respite from the heat of the summer months. History here is written in the sturdy limestone of the county courthouse, a structure that stands as a silent observer to the changing seasons and the slow, deliberate pace of daily life. Life in Burlington moves with a measured cadence, governed by the rhythm of the fields and the persistent, wandering breath of the wind that defines this corner of the state.

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.
