How to Use This Jennings, Kansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Jennings, 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 Jennings.
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.

ZIP code: 67643.Jennings defines the horizon where the flat expanse of the high plains meets the wide, unencumbered sky. It lies 75.7 miles northwest of Hays, KS (from Hays, KS: bearing 317°T), and is situated 23.9 miles west-southwest of Norton. Prairie Dog Creek carves a shallow, wandering path through the earth nearby, its banks lined with the gnarled, silvered bark of cottonwoods that catch the low light of dusk. The landscape here is a study in long, golden lines, where the wind pushes through the grasses with a persistent, rhythmic sigh. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain remains open and austere, occasionally punctuated by the distant, soft silhouette of Horseshoe Hill rising against the western clouds.
Agriculture remains the singular pulse of Jennings, as the economy is bound to the cycle of the wheat harvest and the quiet labor of the surrounding farms. The local character is tempered by the memory of harsh winters and dry summers, fostering a resilience that manifests in the sturdy, weathered architecture of the grain elevators that stand as sentinels over the tracks. Residents often find their respite in the quiet solitude of the Norton Wildlife Area, a place where the stillness is absolute and the air smells of turned earth and wild sage. Life in Jennings moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, an existence refined by the vastness of the plains and the simple, honest necessity of the work at hand.

Detailed location data for Jennings includes the ZIP code (67643), telephone area code (785), county seat of Decatur County (Oberlin), and school district assignment (Hoxie Community Schools Unified School District 412).
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.
