How to Use This New Salem, Kansas Map

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

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.

New Salem emerges from the vast, wheat-horizon plains of Kansas as a quiet testament to the resilience of the prairie. It lies 7.4 miles northeast of Winfield, KS (from Winfield, KS: bearing 48°T), and is situated 18.9 miles north-northeast of Arkansas City. Cedar Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the local landscape, its banks lined with the silver-leafed cottonwoods that sway in the persistent, restless wind. Beyond the immediate fields, the horizon holds the distant, hazy silhouette of the Cup and Saucer Hills, providing a jagged edge to the otherwise fluid expanse of tallgrass. Only two miles distant, the waters of Timber Creek Lake mirror the expansive, high-altitude sky, offering a place of stillness where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered copper.

Agriculture remains the pulse of New Salem, where the seasonal rhythms of sowing and harvest dictate the pace of daily life, echoing the endurance of those who first broke this heavy soil. The legacy of the region is felt in the steady maintenance of local homesteads and the shared memory of the dust-blown years, which have tempered the character of the inhabitants into something as sturdy as the limestone foundations of nearby rural architecture. Residents often seek recreation at the Winfield City Lake Recreation Area, a space that bridges the gap between the structured demands of the economy and the untamed nature of the surrounding plains. Life here moves with the sun, grounded by the steady labor of the fields and a profound, silent connection to the land that stretches toward the distant Turkey Gulch.
