Explore Woodland Hills, 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 Woodland Hills, 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 Woodland Hills.
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.

Woodland Hills emerges from the expansive Nebraska prairie as a collection of modest structures defined by the vast, unyielding horizon. It lies 13.3 miles east-southeast of Lincoln, NE (from Lincoln, NE: bearing 105°T), and is situated 12.8 miles south-southeast of Waverly. Hooper Creek carves a quiet, seasonal path through the surrounding fields just one mile from the center, its banks supporting the verdant growth that gives Woodland Hills its name. Sunlight here possesses a singular, clarifying quality, turning the late-summer tallgrass into a sea of amber that ripples under the constant, restless wind. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the landscape opens into the characteristic flatness of the region, where the sky claims the majority of the view and the air carries the faint, dry scent of soil and turning grain.
Settlement in Woodland Hills followed the slow migration of farmers drawn to the fertility of the plains, establishing an economy anchored firmly in the rhythms of the harvest and the stewardship of livestock. The legacy of these early pioneers remains visible in the sturdy, deliberate architecture of the downtown district, where the daily pace is measured not by clocks, but by the necessities of the seasons. Residents often seek the quiet expanse of the Triple Creek Wildlife Management Area six miles away, or find reflection in the stillness of Eagle Lake, which lies four miles from the town’s edge. Life in Woodland Hills maintains a steady, grounded character, reflecting a quiet endurance that honors the labor of those who first broke this ground and the persistent, quiet beauty of the Nebraska plains.

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.
