How to Use This Hartford, Kansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hartford, 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 Hartford.
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 Hartford, Kansas
Hartford is a locality in Lyon County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 355. The population density is 346.1 people per km². Hartford is located at 38.3084°N, 95.9558°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Hartford is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 66854.Hartford occupies a sprawling expanse of the Kansas tallgrass prairie where the horizon stretches into a seamless, sun-bleached hem of earth and sky. It lies 13.9 miles east-southeast of Emporia, KS (from Emporia, KS: bearing 118°T), and is situated 14.0 miles northwest of Burlington. The Neosho River meanders through the landscape, its heavy, silty waters carving a slow path that sustains the riparian thickets of cottonwood and willow. Beyond the immediate banks, the topography rises into the subtle, rhythmic swells of the Flint Hills, a terrain defined by ancient limestone outcroppings that catch the low, honeyed light of late afternoon. To the southeast, the expanse of the Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge offers a preserved sanctuary for migratory birds and native grasses, while the presence of Bebo Hill looms eleven miles to the west, a solitary punctuation mark against the vast, shifting clouds.
Hartford retains a quiet, industrious character, shaped by the cycles of agriculture and the persistent, restless wind that defines the plains. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the grazing livestock that traverse the surrounding pastures, reflecting a history of endurance in a land where the elements dictate the pace of life. A few miles away, the John Redmond Reservoir serves as a vital anchor for the region, its presence tempering the dry heat of midsummer and providing a focal point for the surrounding plains. Life in Hartford moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, where the clarity of the air and the immense, open stillness create a profound sense of isolation that feels, to those who remain, like a form of freedom.

About This Hartford Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hartford, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.308351, -95.955823. 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 Hartford includes the ZIP code (66854), telephone area code (913), county seat of Lyon County (Emporia), and school district assignment (Southern Lyon County Unified School District 252).
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.
