How to Use This Beaver City, Nebraska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Beaver City, 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 Beaver City.
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.

It lies 44.7 miles south of Lexington, NE (from Lexington, NE: bearing 186°T), and is situated 32.0 miles southwest of Holdrege. The landscape surrounding Beaver City unfolds in a vast, rhythmic sequence of prairie grasses that sway under a high, relentless sky, occasionally interrupted by the modest, purposeful curves of Beaver Creek. To the west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Union Ridge defines the distant edge of the world, while the waters of Van Cleave Reservoir offer a quiet, reflective stillness that breaks the monotony of the dry earth. During the golden hour, the light stretches thin and amber across the stalks, revealing a terrain that feels less like a place of concealment and more like an open ledger written in dirt and wind.
Agriculture remains the pulse of Beaver City, a quiet industry of seasonal labor and long-standing stewardship over the soil that has defined the inhabitants since the first homesteaders broke the sod. The legacy of those early settlers persists in the deliberate, steady pace of the local economy, where the focus remains on the harvest and the maintenance of the land. Residents find respite in the nearby Oxford Wildlife Management Area, an expanse that preserves a fragment of the wild character that once dominated the region. Daily life in Beaver City moves with the gravity of a place that understands its own isolation, marked by the simple, enduring labor of those who cultivate the plains and respect the changing moods of the seasons.

About This Beaver City Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Beaver City, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.137507, -99.829565. 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 Beaver City includes the ZIP code (68926), telephone area code (308), county seat of Furnas County (Beaver City), and school district assignment (Southern Valley 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.
