How to Use This Macksville, Kansas Map

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

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.

Macksville emerges from the flat, wheat-streaked horizon like a steady pulse in the vast, open silence of the Kansas plains. It lies 30.1 miles south-southwest of Great Bend, KS (from Great Bend, KS: bearing 202°T), and is situated 16.9 miles south-southeast of Larned. Little Wild Horse Creek winds past the southern edge of the grid, its banks lined with the gnarled, silver-gray trunks of cottonwoods that catch the low, honeyed light of late afternoon. Beyond the immediate fields, the earth stretches toward the distant rise of Jenkins Hill, a subtle interruption in the otherwise unrelenting expanse of the horizon. The air here carries the dry, honest weight of the soil, shifting with a wind that seems to possess a memory of the tallgrass that once covered everything, now replaced by the rhythmic geometry of modern cultivation.

Macksville maintains a quiet, industrious character, anchored by a legacy of agrarian resilience that has survived the lean years of the past. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, with grain silos serving as the primary architecture of the skyline, standing as tall, functional monuments to the work that defines the people here. While the Pratt Sandhills Wildlife Area lies fourteen miles away, offering a sanctuary of native vegetation, the daily life of Macksville is defined by the steady maintenance of the homesteads and the long, straight roads that connect the community to the wider world. It is a place where the passage of time is marked not by grand events, but by the slow, deliberate rotation of crops and the way the shadows lengthen across the porch boards as the sun retreats toward Lost Lake, twenty miles to the west.

About This Macksville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Macksville, Kansas. Coordinates: 37.959182, -98.96871. 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 Macksville includes the ZIP code (67557), telephone area code (785), county seat of Stafford County (St. John), and school district assignment (Macksville Unified School District 351).

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.
