How to Use This Radium, Kansas Map

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

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.

Radium claims its place upon the vast, flat expanse of the Kansas plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut like a wire pulled across the sky. It lies 14.9 miles south-southwest of Great Bend, KS (from Great Bend, KS: bearing 208°T), and is situated 11.2 miles east of Larned. The land here is a quiet geometry of soil and grain, defined by a silence that deepens as the sun slips toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Jenkins Hill. In the stillness of an afternoon, the light shifts across the fields with a heavy, golden patience, illuminating the sparse, hardy vegetation that clings to the earth. Five miles away, the banks of Pickle Creek offer a thin ribbon of shade where cottonwoods lean against the wind, their leaves shivering in a perpetual, rustling dialogue. Beyond these fields, the terrain eventually gives way to the broader, subtle depressions of the Great Bend Prairie, creating a landscape that demands a measured, steady gaze to truly appreciate its understated scale.

Radium remains a quiet sentinel of the agricultural rhythms that have long dictated the pulse of the region. The economy is rooted firmly in the dark, fertile loam, where the cycles of planting and harvest dictate the pace of every season. History here is found not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the grain elevators that stand as sentinels against the expansive sky, and in the resilience of those who labor under the relentless prairie sun. While the distant waters of Barton Lake lie twenty miles away and the trails of Jordan Park draw those seeking the quietude of the tallgrass eleven miles to the east, the life of Radium stays focused on the immediate, tangible work of the harvest. Here, the wind serves as a constant companion, rearranging the dust and testing the strength of the fences, ensuring that the character of the place remains as durable and unadorned as the limestone foundations of its earliest buildings.

About This Radium Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Radium, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.17418, -98.893426. 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 Radium includes the ZIP code (67550), telephone area code (785), county seat of Stafford County (St. John), and school district assignment (Macksville Unified School District 351).

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.
