How to Use This Jamestown, Kansas Map

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

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.

Jamestown occupies a quiet expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon stretches thin and flat against an unrelenting sky. It lies 54.1 miles north-northwest of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 346°T), and is situated 10.8 miles west of Concordia. Cheyenne Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth nearby, its banks lined with the persistent, silver-leafed cottonwoods that lean away from the constant push of the wind. To the north, the Jamestown Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary of tallgrass and seasonal wetlands, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding grid of tilled soil. On clear days, the silhouette of Twin Mounds rises faintly in the distance, a reminder of the geologic patience required to shape this terrain. The air here holds the dry, honest scent of turned dirt and dormant fields, sharpening the clarity of the light as it turns a deep, bruised gold during the final hours of the day.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of Jamestown, as it has been since the first settlers broke the sod to plant wheat in the stubborn, nutrient-rich soil. The economy moves in rhythm with the planting and harvest cycles, a pattern that dictates the quiet, deliberate pace of daily life in the streets. While the local landscape is defined by the open fields, residents often look toward Sportsmans Lake for a moment of stillness away from the machinery of the farm. The architecture remains functional and unadorned, reflecting a history of endurance and a practical approach to the elements. Here, the scale of the world is measured not by monuments, but by the distance between fence lines and the steady, predictable turning of the seasons.

About This Jamestown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jamestown, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.59945, -97.861154. 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 Jamestown includes the ZIP code (66948), telephone area code (913), county seat of Cloud County (Concordia), and school district assignment (Concordia Unified School District 333).

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.
