How to Use This Horace, Kansas Map

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

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.

Horace sits exposed upon the high, unyielding expanse of the western plains, where the horizon pulls the sky taut against the earth in a thin, shimmering line. It lies 60.8 miles northwest of Garden City, KS (from Garden City, KS: bearing 305°T), and is situated 52.4 miles east-northeast of Lamar. The land around Horace possesses a spare, skeletal beauty, defined by the relentless passage of wind across fields of dry stubble and the occasional, stunted cottonwood that marks the path of White Woman Creek just a mile from the center. Light here does not merely fall; it scours the landscape, bleaching the gray soil and turning the summer stalks into brittle, golden wire that rattles in the persistent gusts. Twenty-four miles away, the distant silhouette of Rock Hill offers the only fracture in an otherwise seamless, flat geography, a faint bruised thumbprint against the expanse of the western sky.

Horace maintains a quiet, tempered existence rooted in the labor of the soil, a place where the economy remains bound to the cycles of harvest and the patient turning of the seasons. The history of the region lingers in the sparse architecture and the memory of lean years, persisting with a gravity that feels as heavy as the dark, mineral-rich earth itself. For those seeking the solitude of the prairie, the Greeley Wildlife Area provides a quiet refuge twelve miles out, while the distant, calm surface of Lake Devore serves as a rare, cool anchor twenty-one miles to the north. Life in Horace follows the rhythm of the rail and the silo, a steady, unadorned pulse that values endurance over ornament, keeping a steady watch over the vast, open silence of the plains.

About This Horace Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Horace, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.476405, -101.790729. 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 Horace includes the ZIP code (67879), telephone area code (785), county seat of Greeley County (Tribune), and school district assignment (Greeley County Schools Unified School District 200).

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.
