Explore Colwich, 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 Colwich, 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 Colwich.
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.

Colwich emerges from the flat, expansive horizon as a quiet collection of homes and silos etched against a vast, unrelenting Kansas sky. It lies 12.4 miles west-northwest of Wichita, KS (from Wichita, KS: bearing 299°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west-southwest of Valley Center. Cowskin Creek carves a thin, meandering artery through the terrain, its banks lined with the rough, silvered bark of cottonwoods that shiver whenever the prairie wind gathers strength. Five miles to the west, the surface of Cadillac Lake holds a mirror to the passing clouds, while four miles away, the open grounds of The Park At Maize offer a rare patch of managed greenery where the local light, sharp and unfiltered, turns the late afternoon grass into a brilliant, fleeting gold. The land here remains stubbornly horizontal, a wide expanse of working earth where the weather dictates the pace of the day and the quality of the silence.
Colwich carries the weight of a settlement founded on the steady labor of the plains, where the economy is tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the persistent industry of the surrounding fields. The architecture is utilitarian and honest, reflecting a history defined by agricultural resilience rather than grand display. Residents move through their chores with a deliberate rhythm, mindful of the grain elevators that serve as the vertical anchors of the skyline. Even as the modern world encroaches, the identity of Colwich remains grounded in the soil and the seasonal shifts that transform the landscape from the deep, dusty browns of winter to the lush, vibrant greens of the growing cycle. It is a place where the stillness of the evening is not an absence of life, but a testament to the endurance of those who have made a home in the open, sun-drenched expanse of the plains.

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.
