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

ZIP code: 69022.Cambridge marks its presence upon the wide, terrestrial expanse of the Nebraska plains, where the horizon serves as the primary arbiter of the day. It lies 41.0 miles south-southwest of Lexington, NE (from Lexington, NE: bearing 213°T), and is situated 24.9 miles east-northeast of McCook. Medicine Creek carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its waters feeding the verdant corridor that cuts through the surrounding expanse of shortgrass prairie. To the north, the rugged folds of Bogus Canyon break the monotony of the flatlands, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Union Ridge anchors the western sky. When the sun descends, the light catches the tallgrass, turning the fields into a sea of amber that shifts in the wind, a quiet reminder of the land’s ancient, unyielding temperament.
Cambridge sustains itself through the steady pulse of agriculture and the rhythmic demands of the harvest, echoing a legacy of pioneer resilience that shaped the early settlement. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, Burton’s Bend Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of silence for the local fauna, contrasting with the productive machinery of the nearby fields. Those seeking the stillness of open water often turn toward Johnson Reservoir 3, a short distance away, where the surface mirrors the vast, cloud-streaked sky. Here, the economy remains tethered to the soil and the seasons, maintaining a deliberate pace of life that values the endurance of the community over the frantic accelerations of the modern world.

About This Cambridge Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cambridge, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.281951, -100.165692. 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 Cambridge includes the ZIP code (69022), telephone area code (308), county seat of Furnas County (Beaver City), and school district assignment (Cambridge 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.
