Explore Richfield, 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 Richfield, 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 Richfield.
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.

Richfield occupies a vast, sun-bleached expanse of the High Plains where the horizon stretches with a relentless, geometric clarity. It lies 49.9 miles west-northwest of Liberal, KS (from Liberal, KS: bearing 288°T), and is situated 32.0 miles southwest of Ulysses. The land here is defined by the subtle, rhythmic undulations of the prairie, broken only by the thin, intermittent veins of vegetation that follow the North Fork Cimarron River just a mile from the center. Within four miles, the terrain deepens into the basin of New Pasture Number Thirteen, a place where the grasses turn a brittle, pale gold under the persistent Kansas wind. The quality of light at dusk is particularly striking, catching the fine dust in the air to bathe the plains in a bruised, violet hue that makes the earth seem to expand until it touches the very edge of the sky.
Richfield bears the quiet gravity of a place that has weathered the cycles of drought and recovery, its economy tethered firmly to the resilience of the surrounding dryland farms. The legacy of the Santa Fe Trail, which passes nine miles away, lingers in the collective memory of the region, marking the area as a corridor of transit that eventually slowed into the steady, deliberate pace of agricultural life. Residents look toward the Cimarron National Grassland, only four miles distant, as a reminder of the original, unplowed character of the plains, while Wilburton Pond remains a modest, quiet landmark eight miles out. Life in Richfield moves in accordance with the seasons and the harvest, a persistent routine that finds its beauty in the sheer, unadorned space of the landscape and the quiet endurance of those who remain.

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.
