Explore Douglass, 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 Douglass, 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 Douglass.
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.

Douglass stretches across the flat expanse of the Kansas plains, where the horizon pulls the sky taut over fields of wheat and native grasses. It lies 14.1 miles east of Derby, KS (from Derby, KS: bearing 97°T), and is situated 7.2 miles east-southeast of Rose Hill. The Walnut River carves a quiet, meandering path only a mile away, its banks lined with the silver-leafed cottonwoods that tremble in the persistent, restless wind. To the west, the subtle rise of the land suggests the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cup and Saucer Hills, while the air carries the dry, earthen scent of a landscape shaped by vast, open space. The light at dusk here possesses a particular clarity, turning the gray-brown prairie into a canvas of bruised gold and deep violet, as if the land itself were holding its breath against the coming night.
Douglass remains defined by the legacy of the settlers who broke this ground, their presence still echoed in the sturdy, unadorned architecture of the older streets. The local economy persists in a slow, deliberate dialogue with the soil, sustained by the rhythms of agriculture that have dictated the pace of life since the town’s inception. Residents might seek respite at Shorty Cox Park, a small patch of green stillness that offers a reprieve from the relentless work of the fields. Though the world beyond moves with a frantic urgency, the people of Douglass maintain a quiet dignity, finding a peculiar beauty in the way the seasons color the plains and the knowledge that, despite the distance to the bustle of larger horizons, the fundamental character of the land remains unchanged.

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.
