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

ZIP code: 66526.Paxico emerges from the tallgrass prairie as a collection of limestone facades, anchored firmly to the earth by the steady, winding presence of Mill Creek. It lies 23.1 miles east-southeast of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 110°T), and is situated 11.8 miles southeast of Wamego. The landscape here is characterized by the expansive, rhythmic roll of the Flint Hills, where the horizon stretches thin and pale under an immense Kansas sky. To the west, the rugged silhouette of Grant Ridge marks the distant skyline, while the nearby Bolton Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary of uncultivated flora and sudden, darting wildlife. The air often carries the scent of dry earth and sun-warmed limestone, a sensory reminder of the geological foundations that define this quiet, inland geography.
Paxico maintains a character forged by the persistence of its early settlers, who utilized the abundant native stone to construct enduring storefronts that now house a modest economy of antiques and local craftsmanship. The pace of life is dictated by the slow shift of seasons and the persistent prairie wind, which seems to scrub the storefront glass until it gleams. While the depths of Clapboard Canyon lie a few miles away, the immediate surroundings remain defined by the agricultural legacy of the plains and the quiet stillness of the surrounding fields. Residents often look toward the horizon where the light turns a bruised, beautiful violet at dusk, signaling the end of a day spent in the steady, unassuming rhythm of a place that remains deeply connected to its own soil.

About This Paxico Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Paxico, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.069443, -96.166383. 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 Paxico includes the ZIP code (66526), telephone area code (913), county seat of Wabaunsee County (Alma), and school district assignment (Wabaunsee Unified School District 329).
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.
