Explore Severy, 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 Severy, 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 Severy.
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.

Severy marks a quiet intersection where the tallgrass prairie stretches toward a horizon defined by the steady, unyielding expansion of the Kansas sky. It lies 37.2 miles east-southeast of El Dorado, KS (from El Dorado, KS: bearing 111°T), and is situated 14.3 miles south-southeast of Eureka. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, bleaching the wooden fences and stone foundations into soft shades of silver and ochre as the wind moves through the switchgrass with a constant, rhythmic rustle. Plum Creek wanders through the low ground just a mile away, its banks lined with the gnarled, patient trunks of cottonwoods that drink deep from the silty earth. In the distance, the silhouette of Temple Knob rises like a dormant sentinel, providing a permanent reference point against the shifting clouds that drift over the plains.
Severy maintains its character through the enduring labor of those who work the land, reflecting a heritage built on the resilience of homesteaders who carved their lives into this expanse. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the seasonal cycles of the fields, while the nearby Fall River Lake provides a recreational space where the water holds the reflection of the vast, open sky. Life in Severy moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the memory of seasons that have tested the resolve of its residents for generations. Here, the transition from the heat of midday to the cooling shadows of dusk is a quiet event, observed in the stillness of the porch and the deepening blue of the high, prairie twilight.

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.
