Explore Clearwater, 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 Clearwater, 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 Clearwater.
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.

Clearwater holds its place upon the vast, level expanse of the Kansas plains, where the sky claims a dominance that reduces all architecture to a mere footnote against the horizon. It lies 9.4 miles west-southwest of Haysville, KS (from Haysville, KS: bearing 243°T), and is situated 16.0 miles southwest of Wichita. The Ninnescah River traces a quiet, winding path just one mile away, its banks lined with the silver-leafed cottonwoods that lean toward the water as if listening to the steady, rhythmic pulse of the earth. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the land stretches toward the Wichita Prairies, a expanse of grass and light that shifts color from a pale, sun-bleached gold in the heat of summer to a deep, dormant bronze when the frost descends. Even the air here carries a specific weight, clean and sharpened by a constant, restless wind that seems to scour the flat topography of any pretense, leaving only the honest, unvarnished truth of the soil.
Agriculture serves as the fundamental anchor for Clearwater, drawing its life from the fertile, dark loam that has defined the regional economy since the first settlers pressed their plows into the sod. Local history remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, a tradition that persists in the steady work of the grain elevators and the quiet persistence of family-run operations that occupy the surrounding fields. While the pace of life remains deliberate and grounded, the proximity of the Freeman Soccer Fields eight miles away brings a different kind of energy, where the competitive spirit of the youth momentarily disrupts the silence of the countryside. Residents often look toward the quiet surface of Wattles Lake, four miles from the center, where the stillness of the water mirrors the unchanging nature of the surrounding landscape, offering a place of reflection in a world defined by the unrelenting movement of the seasons.

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.
