Explore Ozawkie, 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 Ozawkie, 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 Ozawkie.
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.

Ozawkie emerges from the flat, expansive plains of Kansas as a quiet intersection of prairie grass and the deep, steady presence of water. It lies 17.1 miles northeast of Topeka, KS (from Topeka, KS: bearing 41°T), and is situated 21.9 miles northwest of Lawrence. The horizon stretches thin and pale, broken only by the silhouettes of cottonwoods that lean toward the Delaware River, a waterway that marks the eastern edge of the landscape with a sluggish, rhythmic pulse. The earth here is firm and dark, yielding to the vast, open sky where the light shifts from a sharp, morning clarity to a long, bruised purple as the sun descends behind the distant rise of Nolan Hill. Directly adjacent to the community, the expanse of Perry Lake holds the sky in its glass, offering a stillness that defines the physical character of the land, while the nearby Perry Recreation Area provides a deliberate space for the wind to sweep across the tallgrass, unobstructed and relentless.
Ozawkie maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal cycle of the fields and the slow, deliberate movement of the water nearby. The economy remains tethered to the traditions of the region, where the labor of the soil and the maintenance of the land have long provided a foundation for those who dwell here. History lingers in the way the local roads follow the gentle contours of the terrain, avoiding the abruptness of modern gridlines in favor of paths carved by earlier generations. Daily life here is quiet, marked by the sound of tires on gravel and the occasional call of birds circling the Perry Recreation Area, a place where the remnants of the past are felt in the way the light catches the limestone foundations of older structures. People here recognize the value of a slow day, finding a subtle, enduring beauty in the way the shadows lengthen across the plains, turning the ordinary work of the afternoon into a meditative exercise of presence.

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.
