How to Use This Leonardville, Kansas Map

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

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.

Leonardville exists as a quiet accumulation of limestone and frame structures anchored to the expansive, rhythmic plains of Kansas. It lies 19.8 miles northwest of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 309°T), and is situated 18.0 miles north of Fort Riley. Mill Creek traces a thin, verdant ribbon through the surrounding prairie just one mile away, its banks lined with cottonwoods that catch the low, golden light of late afternoon. To the west, the distant elevation of Saddle Back marks the horizon, a faint serrated edge against the wide, unencumbered sky. The air here carries the dry, clean scent of cured grasses and turned soil, a stillness that seems to expand in proportion to the vastness of the fields. During the summer, the heat shimmers above the pavement, blurring the edges of the horizon until the earth and sky appear to bleed into a singular, hazy expanse of tawny light.

Leonardville maintains a character defined by the patient endurance of those who work the surrounding agricultural grid, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of harvest and the persistence of the local grain trade. The legacy of early settlement persists in the heavy, blocky architecture of the older buildings, which stand as functional monuments to a time when railroads dictated the pulse of the prairie. Residents often look toward Tuttle Creek Lake, seven miles away, for recreation, finding a respite in the open water that contrasts sharply with the solid, grounded nature of the inland landscape. Life moves at a pace set by the wind and the changing seasons, a steady, predictable cadence that favors the quiet observation of the land’s subtle shifts. Even the evening shadows, lengthening across the dusty roads, feel like a deliberate, measured punctuation to the day’s labor.

About This Leonardville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Leonardville, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.364442, -96.858901. 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 Leonardville includes the ZIP code (66449), telephone area code (913), county seat of Riley County (Manhattan), and school district assignment (Riley County Unified School District 378).

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.
