How to Use This Bushnell, Nebraska Map

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

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.

Bushnell anchors itself against the expansive, high-plains horizon where the land flattens into a persistent, golden clarity. It lies 45.3 miles south-southwest of Scottsbluff, NE (from Scottsbluff, NE: bearing 195°T), and is situated 11.9 miles west of Kimball. Lodgepole Creek traces a quiet, erratic path through the dry earth nearby, serving as a subtle lifeline for the sparse vegetation that clings to the banks. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape stretches toward the Wildcat Hills, which appear as a faint, serrated bruise against the western sky at dusk. The air here carries a sharp, clean weight, unburdened by the humidity of lower elevations, and the light at sunset turns the shortgrass prairie into a vast, shimmering copper plate.

Bushnell remains a quiet intersection of agricultural heritage, where the economy still leans heavily on the labor of the surrounding wheat fields and cattle grazing. The proximity to Oliver Reservoir State Recreation Area provides a rare concentration of stillness, offering a place for the wind to sweep across the water without interruption. Nearby, James Reservoir Number 2 sits as a modest punctuation mark in the terrain, reflecting the immense, shifting Nebraska clouds. Residents live in a rhythm dictated by the demands of the soil and the seasons, moving with a deliberate patience that ignores the frantic pace of distant urban centers. Deep in the quiet of the regional topography, one can occasionally trace the memory of older routes that once funneled travelers toward the distant Chivington Draw, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that defines the character of those who remain.
