How to Use This Somerset, Kansas Map

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

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.

About Somerset, Kansas

Somerset is a locality in Miami County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 90. The population density is 78.8 people per km². Somerset is located at 38.6050°N, 94.7688°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 66071.

Somerset emerges from the expansive Kansas plains as a quiet intersection of open sky and enduring prairie soil. It lies 16.6 miles south-southeast of Gardner, KS (from Gardner, KS: bearing 149°T), and is situated 6.4 miles east-northeast of Paola. The South Wea Creek carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its banks lined with the gnarled, silver-barked cottonwoods that thrive in the moisture-rich sediment. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Sand Hills marks the western horizon, a reminder of the geological theater that shapes the state. The light here possesses a particular, honeyed quality at dusk, turning the wheat fields into a sea of muted gold before the sudden, cooling transition of the prairie night.

Somerset retains the measured, deliberate pace of a place built upon the rhythm of the seasons and the cycle of the harvest. The regional economy remains tethered to the land, where modern agricultural practices honor the legacy of early settlers who first broke the stubborn sod. Residents often seek the quietude of Lake Miola Park, a sanctuary four miles away where the stillness of Miola Lake reflects the vast, unobstructed vault of the sky. Life in Somerset moves in quiet circles, defined by the steady work of the fields and the occasional gathering of neighbors, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers yet deeply connected to the shifting, windswept character of the plains.

About This Somerset Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Somerset, Kansas. Coordinates: 38.605013, -94.768848. 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 Somerset includes the ZIP code (66071), telephone area code (913), county seat of Miami County (Paola), and school district assignment (Paola Unified School District 368).

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.
