Explore Lowell, 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 Lowell, 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 Lowell.
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.

Lowell emerges from the landscape as a quiet intersection of limestone earth and tallgrass, defined primarily by the persistent, cooling presence of Shoal Creek as it winds through the local terrain. It lies 25.0 miles south of Pittsburg, KS (from Pittsburg, KS: bearing 180°T), and is situated 2.5 miles northeast of Baxter Springs. The horizon stretches wide and flat, broken only by the occasional stand of cottonwood trees that lean toward the water, their leaves turning a pale, silver-green in the shifting Kansas light. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into subtle, sweeping swells that suggest the distant, hazy silhouette of Pleasant Ridge far to the south. Visitors often stop by the Unknown Ball Park, a simple expanse of green that captures the stillness of the afternoon, while the air carries a dry, earthen scent that seems to hold the memory of the deep, inland plains.
Lowell carries the weight of a history rooted in the extraction and labor that once defined the surrounding region, leaving behind a quiet economy that favors resilience over rapid change. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the slow cycles of the seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs, though the nearby geography offers singular pockets of wonder like the dramatic drop of Shoal Creek Falls. Residents move with a deliberate pace, acknowledging the heritage of the limestone quarries that built the foundations of the area, even as the modern world brushes past on the periphery. Those who wander seven miles toward Devils Hollow find a landscape that feels ancient and undisturbed, a stark contrast to the small, steady pulse of activity that keeps the identity of Lowell intact against the vast, open sky.

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.
