How to Use This Dunlap, Kansas Map

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

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.

Dunlap emerges from the vast, undulating expanse of the Flint Hills, where the tallgrass prairie stretches toward a horizon defined by the relentless, restless motion of the wind. It lies 15.5 miles northwest of Emporia, KS (from Emporia, KS: bearing 320°T), and is situated 9.0 miles southeast of Council Grove. Rock Creek carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the limestone-laced soil near the settlement, its banks lined with the silver-leafed shimmer of cottonwoods that catch the low, amber light of late afternoon. Four miles away, the quiet surface of Lake Kahola reflects the wide, expansive sky, acting as a cool, still counterpoint to the dry, persistent heat that often settles over the prairie. The air here carries the scent of cured earth and distant, sun-warmed stone, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and perpetually renewed by the shifting seasons.

History lingers in the quietude of Dunlap, a place shaped by the persistent ambition of early settlers who sought to cultivate the stubborn, nutrient-rich soil of these interior plains. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture, with the land yielding its harvest in cycles that dictate the pace of life for those who remain. Beyond the immediate fields, the proximity of Council Grove Lake provides a nearby expanse for those seeking the solitude of the water, while the memory of the land’s transformation remains etched into the very character of the people. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, defined by the practical demands of rural work and the quiet beauty of a prairie sunset that turns the limestone outcrops into glowing, ephemeral monuments against the deepening gray of the coming night.

About This Dunlap Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dunlap, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.576399, -96.365834. 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 Dunlap includes the ZIP code (66846), telephone area code (913), county seat of Morris County (Council Grove), and school district assignment (Morris County Unified School District 417).

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.
