How to Use This Roxbury, Kansas Map

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

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.

Roxbury occupies a span of open Kansas prairie where the horizon pulls the sky taut against the earth, creating a vast, unobstructed canvas for the shifting light of day. It lies 17.7 miles northeast of McPherson, KS (from McPherson, KS: bearing 45°T), and is situated 13.3 miles east of Lindsborg. The landscape here is defined by the steady, rhythmic swells of the plains, punctuated by the occasional silhouette of trees that mark the path of Gypsum Creek as it winds through the quiet terrain. To the distant west, the elevated profiles of the Smoky Hills blur into the hazy hem of the atmosphere, while the proximity of the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge ensures that the surrounding grasslands maintain a sense of wild, untamed expanse. When the sun begins its descent, the golden hour catches the dry stalks of the fields, turning the entire basin of Black Canyon into a bowl of cooling bronze shadows that seem to hold the heat of the afternoon in the very soil.

Roxbury maintains its posture as a place of deliberate endurance, reflecting a lineage of agricultural commitment that has long defined the local economy and the daily cycles of its inhabitants. The presence of McPherson County State Lake serves as a quiet center for those seeking the stillness of water in an otherwise terrestrial domain, offering a reprieve from the persistent Kansas wind that sweeps across the wheat fields. Life in Roxbury moves with the measured pace of the seasons, where the legacy of earlier settlers remains visible in the sturdy, utilitarian architecture that has weathered generations of change. It is a location where the silence of the wide-open prairie is not an absence, but a presence, grounding the people who live here in a landscape that demands both respect and a deep, quiet patience.

About This Roxbury Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Roxbury, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.55084, -97.430309. 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 Roxbury includes the ZIP code (67476, 67448), telephone area code (785), county seat of McPherson County (McPherson), and school district assignment (Smoky Valley Unified School District 400).

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.
