Explore Overland, 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 Overland, 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 Overland.
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.

Overland asserts its presence upon the expansive, open plains where the horizon functions as the primary fact of daily existence. It lies 21.3 miles east-northeast of Grand Island, NE (from Grand Island, NE: bearing 60°T), and is situated 2.8 miles south-southeast of Central City. The Platte River carves a slow, shallow path less than a mile from the center of Overland, its braided channels reflecting the expansive sky and providing a persistent, rhythmic pulse to the landscape. To the north, the land rises in subtle, grass-covered swells, while the nearby Lone Tree Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of native vegetation that shifts in color from the vibrant green of spring to a pale, brittle gold under the autumn sun. Four miles distant, Chader Reservoir sits as a quiet, reflective basin, breaking the monotony of the shortgrass prairie and offering a stillness that seems to amplify the long, lingering twilight common to these latitudes.
Overland carries the quiet weight of pioneer memory, a legacy etched into the persistence of its agricultural roots and the deliberate pace of its local economy. The town serves as a junction for the surrounding cattle country, where the labor of the day is dictated by the movement of herds and the changing demands of the season. History here is not a relic but a living tether, visible in the weathered grain elevators that stand as sentinels against the vast sky and the unhurried way residents navigate the grid of the streets. While the distant silhouette of Mumpumpey Hill marks the far periphery of the traveler's view, life in Overland remains anchored to the immediate, fertile soil and the steady, quiet cycle of commerce that has sustained these families across generations.

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.
