Explore Rock, 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 Rock, 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 Rock.
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.

Rock emerges from the expansive Kansas plains as a quiet collection of weathered structures anchored to the earth by the steady, unyielding presence of the tallgrass prairie. It lies 13.9 miles north of Winfield, KS (from Winfield, KS: bearing 358°T), and is situated 16.1 miles east-southeast of Derby. The horizon stretches thin and taut, a pale line where the sky presses down upon the undulating landscape, occasionally broken by the dark, vertical silhouettes of cottonwoods that congregate near the banks of Rock Creek. To the west, the distant, hazy outlines of the Cup and Saucer Hills rise against the twilight, their forms softened by the persistent movement of wind that shapes the character of the soil and the temperament of the air. Light here possesses a particular clarity, catching the dry grasses at dusk to burn with a brief, copper brilliance before the long, shadow-filled quiet of evening takes hold.
Agriculture has long defined the pulse of Rock, as the rhythms of sowing and harvest dictate the pace of life in a region where the land’s productivity is as cyclical as the turning seasons. While the local economy remains tethered to the surrounding fields, the legacy of the nineteenth-century rail era lingers in the way the streets are laid out, pointing toward a broader world that once relied on this corridor for the movement of grain and goods. Residents often look toward the Winfield City Lake Recreation Area or the quiet margins of Timber Creek Lake when they seek the stillness of water, finding a respite from the vastness of the wheat-horizon plains. Whether navigating the deep, textured soil near Turkey Gulch or observing the way the afternoon sun catches the dust of a gravel road, one recognizes that Rock is a place where history persists not in grand monuments, but in the enduring, patient habits of those who call the prairie home.

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.
