How to Use This Valley Falls, Kansas Map

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

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.

Valley Falls occupies a quiet stretch of the Kansas prairie where the Delaware River carves a deliberate path through the earth, marking the land with a singular, fluid grace. It lies 23.5 miles north-northeast of Topeka, KS (from Topeka, KS: bearing 30°T), and is situated 17.0 miles east-southeast of Holton. The landscape surrounding Valley Falls is defined by the expansive, open character of the plains, where the horizon pulls the eye toward a vast, shifting sky that turns the color of bruised plums during the final moments of dusk. Cottonwoods lean toward the water’s edge, their silver-backed leaves shivering in the constant, restless breeze that sweeps across the flat terrain. Beyond the immediate banks of the Delaware River, the topography broadens into fertile agricultural expanses, punctuated by the occasional rise in the ground that hints at the distant, hazy silhouette of Nolan Hill.

History clings to the brick facades of Valley Falls, reflecting a legacy of settlement that grew from the necessity of harnessing the power of the water. The local economy persists as a quiet dialogue between the land and its caretakers, sustained by the rhythms of seasonal planting and the steady commerce of a region deeply connected to its agricultural roots. Residents find their recreation within the Perry Recreation Area, a sprawling expanse that bridges the gap between the town and the waters of Perry Lake, where the surface reflects the changing light with mirror-like clarity. Life in Valley Falls moves with a deliberate, measured pace, grounded by the enduring presence of the limestone foundations that anchor the architecture to this persistent, wind-swept soil.

About This Valley Falls Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Valley Falls, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.343332, -95.460253. 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 Valley Falls includes the ZIP code (66088), telephone area code (913), county seat of Jefferson County (Oskaloosa), and school district assignment (Valley Falls Unified School District 338).

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.
