How to Use This Lindsay, Nebraska Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lindsay, 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 Lindsay.
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: 68644.Lindsay anchors itself upon the flat, expansive plains of Nebraska, where the horizon serves as the primary arbiter of the day. It lies 25.1 miles northwest of Columbus, NE (from Columbus, NE: bearing 318°T), and is situated 15.2 miles southwest of Madison. Shell Creek cuts a deliberate, winding path through the surrounding fields, its quiet presence defining the local drainage and the subtle shifts in the soil. The land here possesses a stark, geometric clarity, defined by the interplay of high-reaching sky and the rhythmic, seasonal turning of the earth. At dusk, the light stretches thin and pale across the grasses, turning the color of dried wheat and casting long, indigo shadows that seem to hold the weight of the cooling air.
Lindsay reflects the enduring character of a region built upon the steady labor of the harvest and the persistence of pioneer memory. The local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the soil, with grain elevators standing as the vertical sentinels of the prairie. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the landscape invites a slower contemplation, particularly toward Beaver Bend Wildlife Management Area or the quiet waters of Choat Reservoir, where the stillness of the plains is most palpable. Daily existence in Lindsay moves in accordance with these natural cycles, grounded in a quiet resilience that persists long after the machinery of the fields has fallen silent for the night.

About This Lindsay Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lindsay, Nebraska. Coordinates: 41.70001, -97.693941. 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 Lindsay includes the ZIP code (68644), telephone area code (402), county seat of Platte County (Columbus), and school district assignment (Humphrey 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.
