Explore Kipp, Kansas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kipp, 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 Kipp.
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.

Kipp occupies a flat expanse where the sky asserts its dominance over the earth, pressing down upon a vast, tawny prairie that sighs under the relentless push of the wind. It lies 9.3 miles east-southeast of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 115°T), and is situated 15.9 miles southwest of Abilene. The West Branch Gypsum Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the terrain, its banks lined with the silver-leafed cottonwoods that lean away from the constant gale. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Smoky Hills defines the horizon, providing a permanent, jagged edge to an otherwise infinite view. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, bruised quality, casting long, violet shadows across the stubble of harvested fields and turning the dry grasses into a sea of flickering bronze.
Kipp grew from the practical necessities of the plains, emerging as a quiet node of commerce where the rhythm of the harvest dictates the pulse of the day. The local economy remains anchored to the soil, with grain elevators standing as the singular, iron-clad cathedrals of the landscape, overlooking the modest grid of streets. While the East Crawford Recreation Area offers a nearby sanctuary for those seeking the quietude of open space, the inhabitants of Kipp find their own stillness in the methodical care of the land. It is a place where the memory of the dust and the persistence of the wheat crop remain the primary measures of duration, and where the silence of the plains is interrupted only by the rhythmic clatter of machinery or the sudden, sharp whistle of a train passing through the heart of the fields.

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.
