How to Use This Highland, Kansas Map

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

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.

Highland anchors itself upon the quiet, elevated terrain of northeastern Kansas, where the horizon stretches into an endless, shifting expanse of prairie sky. It lies 22.0 miles north-northwest of Atchison, KS (from Atchison, KS: bearing 339°T), and is situated 14.1 miles east of Hiawatha. The land here folds into gentle slopes that eventually fall away toward the cool, shaded banks of Mill Creek, a vital vein of water just a short distance from the center of Highland. Beyond the immediate fields, the silhouette of Lookout Mountain rises six miles away, a steady presence that marks the boundary of the local vista. To the west, the topography deepens into the quiet, sheltered pockets of Barrett Hollow, while the nearby Brown State Fishing Lake And Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary of tallgrass and quiet timber, where the air holds the scent of damp earth and drying stalks long after the heat of the day has receded.

Highland carries the weight of a long-standing academic tradition, having served as the site of the first college established in the territory, a legacy that still informs the intellectual pulse of the neighborhood. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, defined by the meticulous care of the surrounding wheat fields and the persistent, industrious work of those who manage the land. Visitors might find their way to Clear Creek Lake, eighteen miles out, but the character of the place is best felt in the stillness of a Tuesday morning, when the wind catches the pale, dry husks of late-summer crops. There is a particular clarity to the light here, a thin, golden quality that illuminates the limestone foundations and the weathered wood of old barns, suggesting a history that is not merely remembered, but lived in the quiet, daily persistence of those who call Highland home.
