Explore Chautauqua, 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 Chautauqua, 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 Chautauqua.
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.

Chautauqua emerges from the sprawling Kansas plains as a quiet intersection of earth and sky, marked by the persistent presence of Turkey Creek as it carves a path through the landscape. It lies 47.6 miles east-southeast of Winfield, KS (from Winfield, KS: bearing 108°T), and is situated 21.7 miles north-northwest of Bartlesville. The horizon is defined by the subtle, rugged rise of the Chautauqua Hills, which cast long, violet shadows across the tallgrass as the sun begins its descent. Cottonwoods stand like sentinels along the creek bed, their silver-backed leaves shivering in the constant, restless wind that defines the character of this region. To the south, the terrain slopes toward the Hulah Wildlife Management Area, where the land opens into a vast, unhurried expanse of native prairie that seems to hold the very memory of the elements within its soil.
Chautauqua carries the weight of a frontier heritage, its identity forged in the era of homesteading and the slow, deliberate cultivation of the surrounding acreage. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, primarily focused on agriculture and the stubborn resilience of those who tend to the wheat-horizon plains. Life here moves with a gravity that acknowledges the distance between neighbors, often finding its relief in the quiet stillness found near Sedan City Lake or the slow transition of light across the limestone outcrops. For the people of Chautauqua, the day is measured not by the ticking of a clock, but by the shifting clarity of the air and the way the light catches the golden stalks at the edge of the field, reinforcing a sense of permanence in a landscape that is always in motion.

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.
