How to Use This Bushong, Kansas Map

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

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.

Bushong occupies a quiet expanse of the Flint Hills, where the tallgrass prairie stretches toward the horizon in a muted palette of amber and sage. It lies 17.0 miles north-northwest of Emporia, KS (from Emporia, KS: bearing 346°T), and is situated 12.7 miles east of Council Grove. The land here rises and falls with a rhythmic, geological patience, broken only by the thin, silver threading of Wrights Creek that cuts a path through the valley floor a mile away. Cottonwoods stand in sparse, wind-sculpted groves along the water’s edge, their leaves silvering under a sky that seems to possess more depth and clarity than the earth beneath it. To the west, the subtle rise of Gun Barrel Hill anchors the view, a constant, dark silhouette against the shifting light of dusk that renders the surrounding grassland into a sea of shadow and gold.

Bushong persists as a remnant of the expansive agricultural ambitions that once defined the plains, maintaining a character shaped by the steady, demanding cycles of the harvest. The architecture of the region reflects a history of survival, with weathered limestone structures standing as quiet witnesses to decades of prairie wind and seasonal extremes. While the economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding fields, the pace of life is dictated by the slow turning of the seasons rather than the frantic pulse of industry. For those seeking the solitude of the open landscape, the nearby Lyon State Fishing Lake And Wildlife Area offers a respite, while the distant, tranquil surface of Lake Kahola provides a cooling contrast to the sun-baked intensity of the summer months.
