How to Use This Scranton, Kansas Map

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

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.

Scranton holds its ground upon the vast, open expanse of the Kansas plains, where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 18.7 miles south of Topeka, KS (from Topeka, KS: bearing 190°T), and is situated 11.2 miles north-northeast of Osage City. The land here is defined by a rhythmic, subtle rise and fall, culminating four miles away at the modest elevation of Stenger Hill. Cottonwoods stand as sentinels along the banks of Hundred and Ten Mile Creek, their silver-backed leaves shivering in the constant, restless wind that sweeps across the flatlands. To the east, the terrain dips toward the gentle depression of Major Draw, while the horizon remains a clean, unbroken line that seems to pull the light of the setting sun into a long, amber bruise across the western fields.

Scranton carries the quiet weight of a history built on the industry of the soil and the iron of the rails. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, echoing a time when the prairie was first turned by heavy plows. Life here moves with the patience of the seasons, punctuated by the stillness of Osage State Fishing Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting moods of the clouds. Residents look toward the nearby expanse of Pomona Lake for moments of respite, yet the character of the place is found in the everyday persistence of those who work the surrounding acreage. There is a profound honesty in the way the town endures, anchored by the simple, enduring architecture of the plains and the unadorned beauty of the tallgrass that persists in the margins of the fields.
