How to Use This North Newton, Kansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for North Newton, 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 North Newton.
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.

It lies 1.8 miles north of Newton, KS (from Newton, KS: bearing 359°T), and is situated 6.5 miles southeast of Hesston. Sand Creek carves a thin, wooded ribbon through the local landscape, its banks lined with the gnarled silhouettes of cottonwoods that lean against the persistent Kansas wind. At the Unknown Recreation Area, the prairie grasses shimmer in shades of pale gold and silver, bowing in rhythmic waves under the heavy, open light of late afternoon. Beyond these immediate fields, the horizon stretches into an infinite, level line, occasionally interrupted by the soft silhouette of trees marking the distance toward Gast Lake. The air here holds a crisp, dry clarity, carrying the scent of parched earth and the quiet hum of a horizon that seems to extend forever in every direction.
North Newton maintains a character shaped by its deep intellectual roots and the quiet industry of its residents. The presence of higher education lends a thoughtful gravity to the streets, where the pace of life favors careful deliberation over the frantic urgency found elsewhere. Local history remains anchored in the traditions of those who cultivated this soil, transforming the vast prairie into a productive patchwork of wheat and sorghum. Today, the economy balances these agricultural origins with a modern commitment to education and specialized service, creating a rhythm of life that feels both purposeful and steady. As the sun dips behind the western edge of the plains, North Newton settles into a deep, resonant stillness, illuminated by the fading amber glow that only the unobstructed Kansas twilight can provide.

About This North Newton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of North Newton, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.072233, -97.345592. 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 North Newton includes the ZIP code (67117), telephone area code (785), county seat of Harvey County (Newton), and school district assignment (Newton Unified School District 373).
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.
