How to Use This Funk, Nebraska Map

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

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.

Funk stands as a quiet sentinel amidst the vast, level expanse of the Nebraska plains, where the horizon serves as the primary fact of life. It lies 18.6 miles south-southwest of Kearney, NE (from Kearney, NE: bearing 208°T), and is situated 6.5 miles east-northeast of Holdrege. The Phelps County Canal carves a deliberate path through the landscape, its steady, controlled flow serving as the lifeblood for the surrounding fields and marking the physical character of the territory. Only a mile away, the Phelps County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary where the tallgrass and shortgrass prairie reclaim their ancestral rhythm, offering a refuge for migratory life against the infinite sky. On the clearest days, the faint, jagged silhouette of Union Ridge emerges like a ghost upon the western horizon, reminding the observer of the great distances that define this interior geography.

Agriculture dictates the pulse of Funk, where the economy remains tethered to the deep, dark soil and the seasonal cycles of the harvest. The history of the area is etched into the grid of local roads and the persistent, industrious nature of those who continue to work the land, carrying the weight of pioneer memory in their daily labor. Life here moves with a measured cadence, unbothered by the frantic pace of larger centers, while the quality of light at dusk—a soft, bruising violet that deepens into a profound, star-dusted black—transforms the fields into a sea of stillness. Those seeking the cooling presence of water often look toward Moses Hill Lagoon, which lies twelve miles distant, a place where the stillness of the plains is mirrored in the quiet surface of the basin.

About This Funk Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Funk, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.462512, -99.249261. 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 Funk includes the ZIP code (68940), telephone area code (308), county seat of Phelps County (Holdrege), and school district assignment (Holdrege 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.
