How to Use This Speed, Kansas Map

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

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.

Speed emerges from the high, flat expanse of the Kansas plains where the horizon is a thin, unwavering pencil line drawn against the sky. It lies 55.4 miles north of Hays, KS (from Hays, KS: bearing 355°T), and is situated 7.5 miles southwest of Phillipsburg. The North Fork Solomon River carves a quiet, serpentine path through the earth less than a mile from the center of Speed, its banks lined with the rough, silver-leafed cottonwoods that lean into the prevailing wind. During the long, golden afternoons, the light here possesses a singular, heavy clarity, casting elongated shadows across the stubble of harvested fields and turning the native grasses into a sea of muted bronze. Beyond these immediate plains, the silhouette of Blue Mound marks the distant edge of the world, a silent, earthen sentinel watching over a landscape defined by its immense, unyielding sky and the rhythmic, seasonal turning of the soil.

Agriculture remains the singular heartbeat of the local economy, a tradition of tilling and harvest that has persisted since the first homesteaders broke the heavy sod. The legacy of these early settlers is marked by the enduring, utilitarian architecture of the region, where the labor of the past remains visible in the weathered grain elevators that rise like monoliths above the flat terrain. Residents often find their respite at City Park, a modest stretch of green seven miles away, or seek the stillness of Logan City Lake, located nine miles from the center of activity. Life in Speed follows the slow, deliberate cadence of the seasons, a place where the wind acts as a constant companion to the labor of the field and the quiet, steady persistence of a life lived close to the ground.
