How to Use This Courtland, Kansas Map

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

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.

Courtland occupies a vast, level expanse of the Great Plains where the horizon stretches into a thin, pale line, meeting a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth itself. It lies 66.7 miles north-northwest of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 347°T), and is situated 19.0 miles northwest of Concordia. The landscape around Courtland is defined by the persistent, rhythmic push of the wind against the tallgrass and the quiet, deliberate growth of row crops that dominate the view in every direction. A mile away, the quiet current of Beaver Creek carves a narrow, sheltered path through the soil, its banks lined with the gnarled, silver-gray trunks of cottonwoods that lean toward the water as if listening to its steady movement. During the golden hour of late afternoon, the light here softens into a bruised amber, casting long, lean shadows that make the flat fields appear as if they might ripple like the surface of a deep, still pool.

Agriculture remains the pulse of Courtland, anchoring a local economy that has long been tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest. The history of the region is etched into the stoic, sun-bleached facades of older structures, remnants of a time when the railroad brought the promise of expansion to these wide-open spaces. Residents often look toward the Jamestown Wildlife Area, six miles away, as a sanctuary where the original character of the prairie survives, undisturbed by the modern clamor of industry. For those seeking a moment of respite, the calm waters of Sportsmans Lake provide a quiet space to observe the migratory birds that pass through this corridor each year. Life in Courtland maintains a measured, purposeful cadence, rooted in the knowledge that the land provides both the challenge and the sustenance for those who choose to remain.

About This Courtland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Courtland, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.781398, -97.892822. 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 Courtland includes the ZIP code (66939), telephone area code (913), county seat of Republic County (Belleville), and school district assignment (Pike Valley Unified School District 426).

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.
