How to Use This Martell, Nebraska Map

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

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.

Martell sits amidst a vast expanse of tallgrass prairie where the horizon serves as the primary fact of life, stretching out in an unbroken line that defines the limits of the sky. It lies 12.2 miles south-southwest of Lincoln, NE (from Lincoln, NE: bearing 203°T), and is situated 6.9 miles west of Hickman. The landscape around Martell is shaped by the subtle shifts of an ancient, sediment-rich terrain, where the air feels heavy with the scent of damp earth and drying stalks. To the immediate west, the slow, meandering path of Salt Creek carves a shallow channel through the soil, while the nearby Salt Creek Reservoir 17-A catches the pale, amber light of late afternoon, turning the water into a sheet of polished glass. Visitors seeking the quiet solitude of the plains often find their way toward the Bluestem Recreation Area, where the grasses sway in rhythmic waves, mirroring the restless, shifting temperament of the wind.

The economic pulse of Martell remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of the harvest and the steady, quiet labor of the surrounding agricultural fields. Established by those who saw potential in the deep, dark loam of the plains, the locality retains a character forged by the persistent, measured pace of rural life. While the Hickman Trail remains a distant six miles away, the local connection to the land is immediate and profound, grounding the people in a history of pioneer endurance that echoes through the silence of the fields. Daily life here is defined not by the clamor of industry, but by the watchful gaze of the sun as it tracks across the open sky, illuminating the golden hues of the prairie and the enduring spirit of a place that finds its beauty in the simple, unadorned truth of the soil.
