Explore McCune, 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 McCune, 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 McCune.
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.

McCune occupies a stretch of southeastern Kansas where the flat, open horizon swallows the sun in a long, bruised smear of violet and gold. It lies 17.5 miles west-southwest of Pittsburg, KS (from Pittsburg, KS: bearing 257°T), and is situated 13.5 miles east of Parsons. The land here is defined by a slow, rhythmic subsidence, marked by the presence of Litup Creek just a mile away, where cottonwoods lean over the banks to drink from the silty water. To the west, the subtle rise of Bell Mound breaks the monotony of the plains, acting as a fixed point in an otherwise vast expanse of prairie and cultivated fields. The air carries the dry, metallic scent of soil turned over by plow and rain, and the persistent wind creates a low, rushing music through the tallgrass that persists long after the light has faded.
McCune retains the quiet gravity of a place built upon the labor of coal extraction and the stubborn persistence of the agricultural cycle. The legacy of the earth remains visible not far away at Mined Land Wildlife Area, where the scars of past industry have softened into a landscape of irregular ponds and wild growth, reclaiming what was once pulled from the deep. Life in McCune follows the slow, deliberate pace of the seasons, where the economy remains tethered to the health of the surrounding crops and the occasional stillness of a winter afternoon. Residents live with the awareness that Little Halfmoon Lake lies only a few miles distant, a silent, reflective mirror in the landscape that emphasizes the isolation and the profound, open-ended peace of the region.

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.
