How to Use This Louisville, Kansas Map

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

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 Louisville, Kansas

Louisville is a locality in Pottawatomie County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 131. The population density is 101.4 people per km². Louisville is located at 39.2503°N, 96.3147°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Louisville is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 66547.

Louisville defines itself through the steady, insistent presence of Rock Creek, which carves a modest, verdant passage through the surrounding expanse of high-grass prairie. It lies 14.5 miles east-northeast of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 71°T), and is situated 3.4 miles north of Wamego. The landscape here is characterized by an expansive openness where the sky exerts a heavy, blue influence over the terrain, and the horizon is often sliced by the distant, faint silhouette of Saddle Back. Cottonwoods cluster along the damp margins of the creek, their leaves turning in the persistent Kansas wind that seems to possess a memory of the wide, flat plains beyond. At dusk, the light catches the tawny stalks of native grasses, transforming the fields into a shimmering, bronze sea that shifts with every gust, while the nearby Wamego Recreation Complex offers a quiet, maintained contrast to the wilder, unyielding character of the brush.

Louisville emerged from the early migrations of settlers who recognized the utility of the fertile soil and the reliable water source provided by the local drainage. The economy remains rooted in the rhythm of the seasons, dominated by the cycles of planting and harvest that dictate the pace of life for those who work the land. While Dutch Hollow lies a short distance away as a reminder of the region’s glacial topography, the local character is shaped by a quiet self-reliance that echoes through the sparse, deliberate architecture of the area. Even the proximity of Lake Elbo serves as a destination for those seeking a moment of stillness, reflecting a way of life that values the tangible, unadorned beauty of the plains over the frantic pace of larger hubs.

About This Louisville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Louisville, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.250274, -96.31472. 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 Louisville includes the ZIP code (66547), telephone area code (913), county seat of Pottawatomie County (Westmoreland), and school district assignment (Wamego Unified School District 320).

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.
