How to Use This Denison, Kansas Map

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

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.

Denison emerges from the wide, persistent Kansas sky where the horizon stretches thin and taut over the prairie floor. It lies 23.9 miles north of Topeka, KS (from Topeka, KS: bearing 6°T), and is situated 7.7 miles southeast of Holton. North Cedar Creek carves a shallow, winding path through the heavy soil nearby, its banks lined with the silver-leafed cottonwoods that shiver and sway in the constant, restless wind. The land here holds the quiet weight of the plains, where the light at dusk turns the tall grasses into a sea of muted bronze, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the subtle, rhythmic swell of the earth. Four miles away, the waters of Nebo Lake offer a still, reflective reprieve from the open expanse, bordered by the quiet, uncultivated acreage of the Nebo State Lake Wildlife Area.

Denison carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the labor of the soil, reflecting a history defined by the relentless turning of the seasons and the sturdy endurance of its inhabitants. The local economy remains anchored to the surrounding fields, where the cyclical promise of the harvest dictates the pace of the days and the character of the work. Life in Denison moves with the deliberate, measured cadence of a grain elevator’s hum against a clear afternoon, a rhythm sharpened by the memory of dry years and the resilience required to thrive in such an exposed landscape. Far to the south, the distant silhouette of Peanaz Hill haunts the hazy edge of the view, a reminder of the vast, varied geometry of the region that defines the space Denison occupies.

About This Denison Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Denison, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.391664, -95.628036. 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 Denison includes the ZIP code (66419), telephone area code (913), county seat of Jackson County (Holton), and school district assignment (Holton Unified School District 336).

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.
