How to Use This Frederick, Kansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Frederick, 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 Frederick.
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.

About Frederick, Kansas
Frederick is a locality in Rice County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 8. The population density is 16.1 people per km². Frederick is located at 38.5133°N, 98.2684°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Frederick is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 67444.Frederick stretches across the vast, sun-bleached plains of Kansas, where the horizon serves as a relentless line dividing the pale earth from an expansive, shifting sky. It lies 28.8 miles east-northeast of Great Bend, KS (from Great Bend, KS: bearing 69°T), and is situated 12.2 miles north-northwest of Lyons. The landscape around Frederick is defined by the subtle persistence of open prairie, occasionally broken by the low, meandering banks of Little Cow Creek, which cuts a quiet path through the soil two miles away. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Smoky Hills hover like bruised clouds against the sunset, their muted forms grounding the otherwise infinite reach of the plains. Here, the air carries a dry, sharp clarity, and the light at dusk turns the tallgrass into a field of burnished copper, illuminating the quiet solitude that defines the rhythm of the day.
Agriculture remains the pulse of Frederick, with the seasons dictated by the slow rotation of golden wheat and the deep, verdant rows of sorghum that drink from the erratic rains. The local economy is tied closely to the yield of the soil, a legacy that respects the endurance required to survive the long, wind-swept winters and the blistering, dry heat of midsummer. Residents often find respite in the rugged, sandstone-hewn topography of the Kanopolis Recreation Area, while those seeking the reflection of the sky on still water venture toward the quiet shores of Spriggs Rock Lake. In Frederick, the architecture of daily life is built upon the stoic resilience of people who have learned to thrive in a landscape that demands both patience and a profound, wordless affection for the land.

About This Frederick Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Frederick, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.513343, -98.268395. 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 Frederick includes the ZIP code (67444), telephone area code (785), county seat of Rice County (Lyons), and school district assignment (Central Plains Unified School District 112).
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.
