Explore Solomon, 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 Solomon, 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 Solomon.
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.

Solomon occupies a quiet expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon stretches thin and taut against the sky. It lies 14.0 miles east-northeast of Salina, KS (from Salina, KS: bearing 67°T), and is situated 8.5 miles west of Abilene. The Solomon River carves a deliberate path through the earth here, its banks lined with the silver-leafed cottonwoods that lean into the current as if listening to the water’s low, persistent murmur. To the south, the silhouette of Iron Mound rises from the flat fields, a solitary sentinel that marks the transition from the river bottom to the higher, wind-swept prairie. During the golden hour, the light thickens and settles over the wheat stubble, turning the fields into vast sheets of beaten copper that hold the warmth of the day long after the sun has dipped below the rim of the world.
Solomon emerged from the raw potential of the frontier, its growth inextricably linked to the iron veins of the railroad and the stubborn fertility of the surrounding soil. The economy remains tethered to this agricultural inheritance, where the seasonal pulse of planting and harvest dictates the tempo of life for those who work the land. While the quiet streets of Solomon offer a steady, meditative pace, residents often look toward Eisenhower Park for recreation or venture toward State Lake to find the stillness of deeper water. The local character is defined by a deep-seated resilience, a quiet strength that recognizes the enduring power of the wind and the soil, anchoring the inhabitants to a landscape that asks for patience and rewards it with a harvest of amber grain.

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.
