How to Use This Scandia, Kansas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Scandia, 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 Scandia.
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.

ZIP code: 66966.Scandia anchors itself upon the expansive, wind-swept plains where the horizon stretches into a seamless union of earth and sky. It lies 66.6 miles north of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 352°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west-southwest of Belleville. The Republican River carves a deliberate path through the landscape less than a mile from the center, its riparian corridor providing a verdant contrast to the surrounding fields. Cottonwoods lean against the riverbank, their leaves shivering in the constant breath of the prairie, while the distant, subtle rise of Twin Mounds marks the edge of the visible world. The light here at dusk settles with a heavy, honeyed clarity, turning the dry grasses to shades of pale copper and gold before the blue shadows of evening reclaim the ground.
Scandia remains defined by the endurance of its agricultural heritage, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pulse of daily labor and commerce. The local economy persists in the quiet cultivation of the soil, a discipline that recalls the resilience of those who first broke this sod. Beyond the immediate reach of the fields, the Jamestown Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary for migratory paths, preserving a portion of the wild expanse that predates the grid of roads and fences. Life in Scandia moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, far removed from the frantic pace of larger centers, sustained by a deep-seated connection to the land and the quiet, persistent presence of the Republican River.

About This Scandia Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Scandia, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.794452, -97.783654. 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 Scandia includes the ZIP code (66966), telephone area code (913), county seat of Republic County (Belleville), and school district assignment (Pike Valley Unified School District 426).
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.
