How to Use This Clatonia, Nebraska Map

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

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.

Clatonia emerges from the expansive Nebraska plains as a quiet intersection of open sky and working earth, defined primarily by the slow, rhythmic passage of Clatonia Creek. It lies 14.7 miles north-northwest of Beatrice, NE (from Beatrice, NE: bearing 338°T), and is situated 12.7 miles south-southeast of Crete. The landscape here is defined by the horizontal reach of the horizon, where the tallgrass prairie has long since surrendered to the geometry of agriculture, creating a vast, flat expanse that absorbs the amber light of late afternoon with a heavy, golden patience. Only a mile away, the quiet waters of Clatonia Creek Reservoir 2-B hold the reflection of the clouds, offering a stillness that contrasts with the constant, subtle movement of the wind across the surrounding fields.

Clatonia retains the character of a place rooted in the labor of the soil, maintaining a pace of life that respects the seasonal demands of the harvest and the steady endurance of its inhabitants. The local economy persists as a reflection of this agrarian heritage, serving as a hub for those who cultivate the dark, fertile loam that has defined the region since its early settlement. While the bustle of larger centers remains distant, the proximity of the Teal Wildlife Management Area, located six miles away, provides a preserved sanctuary where the original character of the prairie survives, undisturbed by the machinery of modern industry. The legacy of Clatonia is found in this continuity, a persistent, unadorned presence that values the weight of the seasons over the fleeting distractions of the world beyond its borders.

About This Clatonia Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clatonia, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.46528, -96.849748. 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 Clatonia includes the ZIP code (68328), telephone area code (402), county seat of Gage County (Beatrice), and school district assignment (Wilber-Clatonia 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.
