Explore Circleville, 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 Circleville, 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 Circleville.
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.

Circleville occupies a modest expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon pulls the sky taut against the earth. It lies 33.2 miles north-northwest of Topeka, KS (from Topeka, KS: bearing 343°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west-northwest of Holton. Elk Creek carves a shallow, meandering path near the settlement, its banks lined with the gnarled, silvered silhouettes of cottonwoods that shiver when the prairie wind gains momentum. The land here is defined by a vast, open consistency, where the soil holds the deep, dark memory of tallgrass roots and the light at dusk turns the fields into a bruised, copper-toned expanse. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the terrain rises into subtle, undulating swells that suggest the distant, quiet presence of Peanaz Hill to the south.
Circleville maintains a rhythm anchored by the agricultural life of the surrounding acreage, where the cycle of planting and harvest dictates the tempo of the day. The economic pulse of the region remains tied to the cultivation of the soil, a practice that has persisted since the earliest homesteaders broke the sod and began to organize their lives around the seasonal shifts of the plains. Residents often look toward the quiet waters of Prairie Lake or the recreational expanse of Elk Horn Lake Park for a change of pace, finding in these spaces a necessary stillness that mirrors the town’s own endurance. There is a singular honesty in the architecture and the empty, sun-bleached roads, a reminder that in this geography, the wind and the work are the primary forces that shape the character of the people who remain.

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.
