How to Use This Wabaunsee, Kansas Map

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

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 Wabaunsee, Kansas

Wabaunsee is a locality in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 104. The population density is 29.6 people per km². Wabaunsee is located at 39.1461°N, 96.3461°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 66547.

Wabaunsee emerges from the vast, undulating expanse of the prairie, where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a sky that seems to possess a weight and clarity found nowhere else. It lies 12.4 miles east-southeast of Manhattan, KS (from Manhattan, KS: bearing 102°T), and is situated 4.4 miles south-southwest of Wamego. The land here acts as a slow, deliberate heave of earth, characterized by the persistent presence of tallgrass that bows in rhythmic unison whenever the wind sweeps across the plains. To the north, the Kansas River cuts a singular, dark ribbon through the landscape, its banks lined with the silver-leafed shimmer of cottonwoods that mark the turning of the seasons. While Grant Ridge looms as a faint, jagged suggestion of stone against the western sky, the immediate terrain dips into the quiet, sheltered folds of Tabor Valley, where the air holds a stillness that feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and ancient, sun-baked stone.

Wabaunsee carries the quiet gravity of a place that has long watched the slow migration of seasons and the shifting fortunes of the soil. Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the local economy, though the modern rhythm of the day is often punctuated by the distant, low hum of machinery moving across fields that have been tilled for generations. Those seeking the shade of a canopy or a moment of stillness frequently travel the short distance to Wamego City Park, a green refuge that serves as a common ground for the surrounding region. Life here is not measured by the frantic pace of industry, but by the subtle gradations of color in the wheat as it ripens, or the way the light catches the limestone foundations of the older buildings when the sun begins its long, amber descent toward the earth.

About This Wabaunsee Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wabaunsee, Kansas. Coordinates: 39.146109, -96.346109. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
