Explore Herkimer, 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 Herkimer, 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 Herkimer.
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.

Herkimer endures as a quiet anchor upon the broad, open expanse of the Kansas plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut like a pulled wire. It lies 49.4 miles north of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 351°T), and is situated 4.8 miles northwest of Marysville. Raemer Creek carves a shallow, verdant ribbon through the surrounding soil, its banks lined with the rough, silver-barked cottonwoods that shudder and sigh when the relentless prairie wind gains momentum. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, honeyed weight, clinging to the stalks of winter wheat and casting long, bruised shadows that deepen the silence of the flatlands. To the north, the distant silhouette of Indian Mound rises as a solitary, immovable sentinel against the vastness of the sky, while the quiet waters of Vitosh Reservoir wait nine miles away, holding the reflection of the clouds in a stillness that contrasts with the constant motion of the grasses.
Herkimer carries the hushed gravity of an agricultural legacy, its existence tied to the rhythm of the harvest and the patient labor of the soil. The economy remains rooted in the cycles of the land, a testament to a resilience forged in the wake of historical droughts that once tested the spirit of the early settlers. Residents often look toward the quiet acreage of Unknown Park for respite, finding a measure of calm five miles away from the center of the daily grind. Life in Herkimer moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, defined by the clatter of machinery during the season of reaping and the stark, architectural beauty of the region’s limestone foundations. It is a place where the air tastes of dry earth and impending change, and where the people recognize the land not as a static backdrop, but as a living participant in their own ongoing story.

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.
