Explore Abie, Nebraska, 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 Abie, Nebraska. 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 Nebraska 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 Abie.
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.

Abie emerges from the vast, open expanse of the Nebraska prairie as a quiet collection of structures defined by the relentless reach of the horizon. It lies 22.7 miles east-southeast of Columbus, NE (from Columbus, NE: bearing 107°T), and is situated 9.7 miles southeast of Schuyler. The landscape surrounding Abie consists of wide, cultivated fields that shift in texture from the deep green of mid-summer corn to the brittle, pale gold of autumn stubble, all under a sky that feels immense and heavy with light. A mile to the west, Skull Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the silt, providing a thin ribbon of riparian shadow that contrasts with the relentless sun-drenched plains. To the north, the rise of Indian Hill offers a subtle break in the topography, a point where the earth gently lifts to offer a clearer view of the distant, flat reaches that characterize this part of the state.
Abie carries the quiet weight of its origins, rooted in the migration patterns of late nineteenth-century settlers who sought to break the tough sod and establish a life on the high plains. The economy remains tethered to the cycles of the soil, with the daily rhythms of the residents dictated by the needs of the surrounding agriculture and the steady, unadorned labor of farm life. Beyond the immediate fields, the proximity of the Skull Creek #2 Wildlife Management Area provides a sanctuary for local flora and fauna, maintaining a pocket of natural silence just two miles from the houses. Those seeking a longer path through the landscape often travel seven miles to reach the Czechland Lake Trail, while the waters of Cottonwood Creek Reservoir 6-E wait four miles away, reflecting the passage of clouds in a stillness that mirrors the steady, deliberate pace of Abie itself.

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.
