How to Use This Gypsum, Kansas Map

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

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.

Gypsum occupies a wide expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon stretches flat and unrelenting under a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth itself. It lies 13.6 miles southeast of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 133°T), and is situated 18.6 miles southwest of Abilene. Spring Creek cuts a shallow, meandering path through the local terrain, its banks lined with the occasional cottonwood that catches the late afternoon light and turns a pale, translucent gold. Fifteen miles to the west, the subtle rise of the Smoky Hills breaks the monotony of the skyline, standing as a quiet, violet-hued reminder of the distance between here and the rugged terrain beyond. The air often carries the scent of dry grass and turned soil, a sensory weight that settles over the fields when the wind dies down to a soft, persistent hum.

Agriculture defines the pulse of Gypsum, with grain elevators rising like monoliths above the grid of streets, marking the intersection of land use and local survival. The economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, a rhythm that has persisted since the early days of settlement when the railroad first brought the promise of expansion to these plains. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, far removed from the bustle of the Salina Soccer Complex ten miles away or the quiet, stagnant surface of Gas Lake. People in Gypsum navigate their days with a pragmatic resilience, their lives shaped by the same elements that dictate the health of the surrounding crops and the shifting colors of the prairie grass.

About This Gypsum Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gypsum, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.705559, -97.428086. 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 Gypsum includes the ZIP code (67448), telephone area code (785), county seat of Saline County (Salina), and school district assignment (Southeast of Saline Unified School District 306).

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.
