How to Use This Agnew, Nebraska Map

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

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.

Agnew stretches across the expansive, open plains of eastern Nebraska where the horizon functions as the primary fact of daily life. It lies 16.9 miles north-northwest of Lincoln, NE (from Lincoln, NE: bearing 333°T), and is situated 16.7 miles east-northeast of Seward. The landscape surrounding Agnew is defined by the steady, quiet presence of Wagon Tongue Creek, which carves a modest path through the earth, offering a ribbon of moisture to the thirsty soil. Only two miles away, North Oak Creek Reservoir 1-A gathers the runoff of the seasons, its still surface reflecting the immense, shifting sky that dominates the view. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain rises into the subtle, grass-covered swells typical of the region, while the expansive Branched Oak Wildlife Management Area provides a sanctuary for native flora and fauna to persist amidst the quietude of the plains.

Agnew remains an intimate reflection of the agricultural legacy that shaped the surrounding prairie, where the rhythm of the year is dictated by the planting and harvest cycles of the local economy. The land here carries the weight of pioneer memory, echoing the persistence of those who first broke the sod to establish these homesteads. While the influence of larger centers remains distant, Agnew maintains a distinct, unhurried character, grounded in the resilience of its residents and the enduring quality of the light as it turns golden over the fields at dusk. Life here moves in harmony with the shifting seasons, an existence refined by the vastness of the space and the simple, honest labor required to sustain a life on the high plains.

About This Agnew Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Agnew, Nebraska. Coordinates: 41.016949, -96.814741. 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 Agnew includes the ZIP code (68428), telephone area code (402), county seat of Lancaster County (Lincoln), and school district assignment (Raymond Central Public Schools).

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.
