How to Use This Scottsville, Kansas Map

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

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.

Scottsville occupies a wide, quiet expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon pulls the sky down to meet the earth in an uninterrupted, golden-hued circle. It lies 51.9 miles north-northwest of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 339°T), and is situated 15.6 miles west of Concordia. The landscape here is defined by the steady, unyielding patience of the prairie, broken only by the thin, silver threading of East Asher Creek a mile away, which serves as a seasonal vein for the thirsty soil. On the distant western edge of the view, the faint, hazy suggestion of the Blue Hills marks the boundary of the world, while the closer, flatter terrain is punctuated by the occasional silhouette of a cottonwood tree. Light here does not merely fall; it accumulates, turning the dust of the air into a shimmering amber veil as the sun descends toward the Jamestown Wildlife Area seven miles to the north, where the wild grasses sway in a rhythmic, ancient choreography.

Agriculture dictates the pulse of Scottsville, anchoring the lives of its inhabitants to the cycles of planting and the heavy, humid anticipation of the harvest. The economic life of the region remains firmly rooted in the grain elevators that rise like monoliths above the tracks, serving as the town’s primary architectural landmarks and the centers of its daily commerce. People here maintain a measured pace, observing the seasons with a vigilance born of long, wind-swept winters and summers that bake the earth into hard, cracked patterns. While the nearby Sportsmans Lake offers a quiet refuge for those seeking the stillness of water, the true character of Scottsville is found in its people, who possess a reserved, quiet resilience that mirrors the land itself, living with the knowledge that the weather is the final arbiter of their work and their days.

About This Scottsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Scottsville, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.543616, -97.9531. 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 Scottsville includes the ZIP code (67420), telephone area code (785), county seat of Mitchell County (Beloit), and school district assignment (Beloit Unified School District 273).

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.
