Explore Moorefield, Nebraska, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Moorefield, 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 Moorefield.
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.

Moorefield emerges from the vast, open expanse of the high plains where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 35.0 miles west of Lexington, NE (from Lexington, NE: bearing 260°T), and is situated 24.5 miles west-southwest of Cozad. The horizon acts as a permanent, unyielding boundary, emphasizing the quiet persistence of the prairie grasses that sway in rhythm with the constant, restless wind. To the west, the distant outline of Union Ridge anchors the far reaches of the view, while the immediate landscape is defined by the subtle, rugged erosion of East Deer Creek Canyon. Only a mile away, the quiet passage of Coyote Creek cuts through the terrain, providing a narrow ribbon of riparian life that contrast with the dry, sun-bleached fields of the surrounding country.
Moorefield stands as a testament to the endurance of agricultural roots, where the local economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest. Life here moves in concert with the seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of denser regions, finding its recreation in the nearby stillness of Medicine Creek Reservoir 200 or the protected, quiet acreage of the Hansen Memorial Reserve Wildlife Management Area. The legacy of those who first broke this ground survives in the modest grid of the streets and the enduring resilience of the people who call Moorefield home. When the light fades at the end of a long day, the shadow of the plains lengthens, casting a deep, amber glow that settles over the grain elevators and the quiet homes, grounding the spirit in a landscape that demands nothing but honesty and patience.

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.
