Explore Earlton, 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 Earlton, 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 Earlton.
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.

Earlton occupies a quiet expanse of the Kansas plains where the earth stretches toward a vast, high-domed sky. It lies 43.6 miles west-northwest of Pittsburg, KS (from Pittsburg, KS: bearing 287°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south of Chanute. The terrain is defined by the steady, rhythmic rise of the land, punctuated three miles away by the singular silhouette of Long Mound, which anchors the horizon against the shifting patterns of the clouds. Two miles to the west, the Elk River carves a narrow, verdant vein through the soil, its banks lined with the silver-limbed cottonwoods that lean into the prevailing breeze. Four miles from the center of Earlton, the stillness of Santa Fe Lake mirrors the amber light of late afternoon, while nearby, the grounds of Santa Fe Park offer a space where the tallgrass ripples in waves, indifferent to the slow passage of hours.
Earlton grew from the ambitions of settlers who sought prosperity in the deep, fertile loam that has long defined the local economy. The legacy of the wheat harvest remains the pulse of the region, visible in the weathered grain elevators that stand as sentinels above the flat, horizon-bound fields. Daily life here maintains a deliberate pace, colored by the practical demands of agriculture and the resilient memory of those who weathered the droughts and winds of previous generations. In the quiet streets of Earlton, the shadow of the limestone architecture reminds the observer of a time when the labor of the hand was the primary currency of the plains, ensuring that the character of the place remains firmly rooted in the grit and grace of the prairie.

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.
