How to Use This Ogallah, Kansas Map

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

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.

Ogallah occupies a vast, hushed expanse where the sky asserts its dominance over the flat, wheat-streaked plains of western Kansas. It lies 23.1 miles west-northwest of Hays, KS (from Hays, KS: bearing 290°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-northwest of Ellis. The wind possesses a singular, persistent voice here, scouring the dry earth and rustling the thin, silver-leafed cottonwoods that trace the winding path of Spring Creek. While the horizon remains flat and unrelenting, the distant, rugged silhouette of Round House Rock emerges from the shimmering heat of the plains like a forgotten sentinel. The light at dusk settles heavily upon the land, casting a bruised, violet glow that turns the dry grasses into a sea of amber, reminding any observer that the earth here remembers the ancient, dusty silence of the high prairie.

Ogallah persists as a quiet node of agricultural labor, defined by the rhythmic cycle of planting and harvest that dictates the pace of daily existence. The local economy remains anchored to the soil, with grain elevators standing as the primary architecture against the immense, cloud-streaked sky. History here is measured in the tenacity of those who settled the plains, and while the Cedar Bluff Wildlife Area lies twelve miles away as a sanctuary for the wild, human life revolves around the steady, iron-willed cultivation of the surrounding acreage. Even with the waters of Cedar Bluff Reservoir nearby, the character of Ogallah is forged in the dry, honest grit of a landscape that demands much from its inhabitants but offers, in return, an unvarnished and absolute clarity of purpose.
