Explore Liebenthal, 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 Liebenthal, 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 Liebenthal.
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.

Liebenthal anchors itself to the vast, open expanse of the plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut under a sky that feels immense and unyielding. It lies 15.5 miles south of Hays, KS (from Hays, KS: bearing 179°T), and is situated 29.8 miles west-southwest of Russell. Big Timber Creek carves a shallow, serpentine path through the surrounding fields, its banks lined with the gnarled silhouettes of cottonwoods that lean against the persistent, scouring wind. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into subtle, sweeping swells that break the monotony of the flat earth, eventually leading toward the distant, muted silhouette of Round House Rock. The air here holds a distinct, dry clarity, particularly in the quiet hours of dusk when the light turns the color of pale wheat and the shadows of the grasses lengthen into fine, dark lines across the soil.
Liebenthal carries the weight of a heritage forged by settlers who sought a permanent foothold in this demanding landscape, their legacy still visible in the sturdy, deliberate architecture that defies the memory of dust-blown seasons. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, with the cycle of planting and reaping defining the pulse of daily life as surely as the seasonal shifts in the weather. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of Lookout Hollow or make the short trip to Custer Island Park when the landscape demands a moment of pause, while the distant, deep basin of Cedar Bluff Reservoir remains a silent, blue-gray presence in the regional consciousness. Life in Liebenthal persists with a steady, quiet endurance, defined by a deep familiarity with the earth and the slow, honest work of those who labor upon it.

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.
