Explore Randolph, 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 Randolph, 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 Randolph.
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.

Randolph rises from the expansive prairie like a quiet assertion against the vast, shifting sky of Kansas. It lies 19.8 miles north-northwest of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 330°T), and is situated 19.8 miles east of Clay Center. The horizon stretches thin and flat, broken only by the sturdy silhouettes of cottonwoods that mark the path of Walnut Creek as it winds through the tallgrass. To the east, the water of Tuttle Creek Lake reflects the pale, wide-reaching light of the afternoon, holding the sky in a calm, glassy grip. In the distance, the faint, hazy outline of Saddle Back suggests a world beyond the immediate plains, though the land here remains defined by the persistent, restless wind that combs through the fields and vibrates against the siding of the local grain elevators.
Randolph carries the weight of a landscape transformed by human endeavor, having shifted its physical footprint when the rising waters of the reservoir reshaped the valley decades ago. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the cycles of the harvest, with the nearby Tuttle Creek Recreation Area serving as a reminder of how the land has been repurposed for the quiet recreation of those who wander through the Flint Hills. Life in Randolph moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands the necessity of endurance, where the architecture of the plains—simple, functional, and honest—stands as a testament to the people who chose to rebuild rather than recede.

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.
