Explore Fredonia, 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 Fredonia, 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 Fredonia.
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.

Fredonia rises from the persistent, sun-bleached expanse of the Kansas plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut like a pulled wire. It lies 59.9 miles east-southeast of El Dorado, KS (from El Dorado, KS: bearing 109°T), and is situated 11.3 miles northwest of Neodesha. Salt Creek carves a shallow, winding path through the silt just a mile from the center, its banks lined with the gnarled, silvered trunks of cottonwoods that shiver in the constant prairie breeze. To the east, the steady, earthbound silhouette of South Mound anchors the view, a silent sentinel watching over the prairie grasses that ripple in shades of ochre and burnt gold. The air here holds a clarity that sharpens the edges of every fence line and silo, while the low, golden light of dusk transforms the dry earth into a glowing, amber theater.
Fredonia carries the weight of a long-settled agrarian spirit, marked by the dignified, limestone architecture of the county courthouse that stands as a testament to the endurance of those who first broke this stubborn sod. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of the soil and the quiet industry of the plains, where the labor of the harvest dictates the pulse of the seasons. Residents often seek the quiet water of Wilson County State Lake for respite, or travel toward the Neodesha Sports Park for a change of pace, yet the character of Fredonia is defined most by the unpretentious resolve of its people. Life here moves with the measured cadence of a pendulum, steady and unhurried, reflecting a deep-seated connection to a landscape that demands both respect and a quiet, watchful patience.

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.
