How to Use This Kelly, Kansas Map

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

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.

About Kelly, Kansas

Kelly is a locality in Nemaha County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 27. The population density is 43.3 people per km². Kelly is located at 39.7378°N, 96.0033°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 66538.

Kelly reveals itself as a quiet intersection of open prairie where the South Fork Big Nemaha River carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the persistent Kansas soil. It lies 48.4 miles west-northwest of Atchison, KS (from Atchison, KS: bearing 285°T), and is situated 7.4 miles south-southeast of Seneca. The landscape here is defined by wide, expansive horizons that seem to pull the sky down until it brushes the tops of the swaying grasses, a terrain where the wind dictates the movement of every leaf and stalk. Just a mile away, the Nemaha Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary of uncultivated brush and trees, providing a subtle contrast to the surrounding fields that stretch toward the distant, faint silhouette of Albany Hill. At dusk, the light loses its sharp edge, turning the vast expanse into a bruised lavender that makes the sturdy, utilitarian architecture of the region appear as if it might simply dissolve into the darkening earth.

Kelly functions as a steady anchor for the agricultural rhythms that have defined this geography for generations, favoring the patient work of the plow and the seasonal cycles of the grain harvest over the frantic pace of the modern world. While the economy remains deeply rooted in the productivity of the soil, the presence of the South Fork Big Nemaha River serves as a constant, quiet reminder of the area’s underlying vitality. Residents often look toward Sabetha City Lake when seeking a reprieve from the relentless stillness of the plains, yet the true character of the place is found in the way the air holds the scent of turned dirt and drying stalks. Life in Kelly proceeds with a deliberate, measured gravity, where the weight of history is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of those who continue to cultivate this singular, windswept stretch of the country.

About This Kelly Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kelly, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.737775, -96.003331. 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 Kelly includes the ZIP code (66538), telephone area code (913), county seat of Nemaha County (Seneca), and school district assignment (Nemaha Unified School District 115).

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.
