How to Use This Ellsworth, Kansas Map

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

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.

Ellsworth occupies a vast, sun-bleached expanse where the Smoky Hill River carves a slow, deliberate path through the wide-reaching plains. It lies 34.1 miles west-southwest of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 257°T), and is situated 31.8 miles west-northwest of Lindsborg. The landscape here is defined by the persistent, unyielding wind that shapes the grasses and carries the scent of dry earth, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Smoky Hills marks the edge of the western horizon. Within the municipal boundaries, Preisker Park offers a quiet sanctuary of green, providing a cool respite where the air hangs heavy with the scent of cottonwoods. The quality of light during the late afternoon is singular, casting long, amber shadows across the open fields and turning the prairie dust into fine, shimmering gold as it drifts toward the riverbed.

Ellsworth retains the rugged character of its origins, bearing the weight of a history forged in the cattle drives that once funneled through its streets. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of agriculture, visible in the grain elevators that stand like sentinels against the sky and the steady, industrious pace of the storefronts lining the center of the grid. A limestone courthouse anchors the civic life of the place, its weathered, pale stone reflecting a century of endurance and the quiet resolve of those who cultivate this demanding soil. Life in Ellsworth moves with a measured, cyclical gravity, tethered to the harvest and the changing seasons, as if the inhabitants are forever listening to the low, constant hum of the plains that stretch out in every direction.

About This Ellsworth Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ellsworth, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.730565, -98.228113. 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 Ellsworth includes the ZIP code (67439), telephone area code (785), county seat of Ellsworth County (Ellsworth), and school district assignment (Ellsworth Unified School District 327).

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.
