How to Use This Centerville, Kansas Map

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

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.

About Centerville, Kansas

Centerville is a locality in Linn County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 78. The population density is 16.4 people per km². Centerville is located at 38.2209°N, 95.0141°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 66014.

Centerville occupies a quiet expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon stretches thin and taut under a vast, unencumbered sky. It lies 30.5 miles south-southeast of Ottawa, KS (from Ottawa, KS: bearing 153°T), and is situated 19.4 miles south of Osawatomie. Saline Creek carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the local terrain, its banks lined with the gnarled, silvered trunks of cottonwoods that lean toward the water as if listening to the current’s low murmur. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land flattens into a persistent, golden stretch of prairie grass that shifts in color from deep ochre to pale straw depending on the season. To the distant west, the silhouette of Graveyard Mound rises like a muted sentinel above the plains, a fixed point in a landscape that otherwise seems to drift with the wind. The air here holds a particular clarity at dusk, when the light turns amber and the shadows of the tallgrass lengthen until they touch the very edge of the road.

Centerville persists as a place defined by the steady, patient work of the soil and the legacy of families who have measured their lives in harvest cycles. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture, a quiet industry that dictates the pulse of the main street and the movement of heavy machinery through the fields. While modern life moves with a different velocity, the people here maintain a connection to the stillness found at the Anderson County Prairies Fee, where the native ecosystem is preserved in its original, rugged state. Those seeking a respite from the dry, sun-baked fields often look toward Timber Lake, a destination eight miles away that offers a rare, reflective stillness in an otherwise thirsty landscape. Life in Centerville is composed of these small, durable constants, an existence shaped by the wind, the cycles of the earth, and the enduring patience required to thrive on the plains.

About This Centerville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Centerville, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.220859, -95.014136. 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 Centerville includes the ZIP code (66014), telephone area code (913), county seat of Linn County (Mound City), and school district assignment (Prairie View Unified School District 362).

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.
