Explore Susank, 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 Susank, 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 Susank.
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.

Susank occupies a vast, level expanse of the high plains where the sky holds more weight than the earth itself. It lies 19.1 miles north of Great Bend, KS (from Great Bend, KS: bearing 359°T), and is situated 8.5 miles north of Hoisington. The horizon stretches thin and taut, broken only by the occasional silhouette of a grain elevator or the thin, dark line of cottonwoods that mark the path of Deception Creek. During the long, golden hours of late afternoon, the light turns a bruised, honeyed color, casting long shadows across the dry, sun-bleached grasses that shiver in the constant, restless wind. While Barton Lake remains a distant shimmer thirteen miles away, the immediate landscape of Susank is defined by the severe, honest geometry of agricultural fields and the silence that settles over the soil when the machinery stops.
Susank emerged from the stubborn determination of early settlers who broke the prairie sod to plant winter wheat, a crop that remains the lifeblood of the local economy. The rhythms of the year are dictated by the planting and the harvest, with the town’s character forged by a collective memory of lean seasons and the enduring resilience required to persist in such a solitary environment. Residents often venture to Noisington Bicentennial Park for a respite in the open air, yet the true identity of Susank is found in the quiet persistence of its main street and the sturdy, unadorned architecture that has weathered decades of prairie storms. People here possess a measured reserve, mirroring the wide, uncluttered space that surrounds them, valuing the steady work of the land above the fleeting distractions of the world beyond their borders.

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.
