How to Use This Talmage, Nebraska Map

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

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.

Talmage occupies a quiet expanse of the Nebraska prairie where the horizon serves as the primary arbiter of the day. It lies 38.6 miles east-southeast of Lincoln, NE (from Lincoln, NE: bearing 119°T), and is situated 13.2 miles southwest of Nebraska City. The land surrounding Talmage defines itself through the slow, deliberate rise and fall of the earth, a topography shaped by wind and the quiet persistence of the Little Nemaha River, which carves a modest path just a mile from the center. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape opens into a vast, uninterrupted theater of sky, where the golden light of late afternoon clings to the tallgrass, turning the plains into a shimmering copper field before the shadows stretch long and thin toward the distant, silhouetted rise of Brickyard Hill.

Agriculture dictates the pulse of Talmage, grounding the inhabitants in a cycle of planting and harvest that mirrors the ancient rhythms of the soil. While the modern world moves with a frantic cadence, the economy here remains anchored to the productivity of the earth and the local trade that flows through the intersection of rural thoroughfares. Residents often find respite in the quietude of the nearby Wilson Creek Wildlife Management Area, a sanctuary where the land remains largely untamed, or near the still, reflective surface of Spring Creek Reservoir 2-3. History lingers in the architecture of the older frame buildings, each structure a silent witness to a time when the railroad first brought the promise of expansion to this corner of the state, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that defines the character of those who remain.

About This Talmage Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Talmage, Nebraska. Coordinates: 40.530556, -96.021672. 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 Talmage includes the ZIP code (68448), telephone area code (402), county seat of Otoe County (Nebraska City), and school district assignment (Johnson County Central 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.
