How to Use This Lyndon, Kansas Map

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

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.

Lyndon occupies a quiet expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon stretches thin and flat, broken only by the persistent, restless movement of the wind through tallgrass and the occasional stand of cottonwoods. It lies 22.5 miles west of Ottawa, KS (from Ottawa, KS: bearing 269°T), and is situated 7.8 miles east-southeast of Osage City. The earth here holds a heavy, dark density, carved by the slow, rhythmic passage of Salt Creek a mile to the west, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Sand Hills creates a jagged ink-line against the darkening sky at dusk. Light at this hour possesses a particular, honeyed thickness, catching the dust motes in the air and casting long, violet shadows across the fields that seem to pull the very day into the soil.

Lyndon serves as the administrative center for the county, anchored by a limestone courthouse that remains a stoic witness to the cycles of harvest and the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons. The local economy draws its vitality from the surrounding agricultural lands, where the labor of the plow and the patience of the farmer dictate the pulse of the streets. Beyond the quiet commerce of the storefronts, the proximity to Pomona Lake and the nearby Pomona Recreation Area offers a space where the prairie meets the water, providing a retreat for those who seek the stillness of the landscape. Life in Lyndon follows a steady, unforced cadence, shaped by the memory of the land and the quiet resilience of those who cultivate it.

About This Lyndon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lyndon, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.61001, -95.684429. 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 Lyndon includes the ZIP code (66451), telephone area code (913), county seat of Osage County (Lyndon), and school district assignment (Lyndon Unified School District 421).

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.
