USGS Maps & Images of Comanche County, Kansas

There's a world of inexpensive information on paper maps available when you call 1-888-ASK-USGS . It's best to know the coordinates of your area of interest. Tip: use the links from the Satellite Images page on this site to find your area of interest, and note the coordinates given for that satellite image, or aerial image, as the case may be. Or, of course, you could use a topographical map or a GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) reciever to find the coordinates of an area.

However, the USGS customer service representatives are so very helpful that you can even order a listing of available maps and photos simply by sending in the appropriate form along with a copy of a map on which you've circled your area of interest. When you call, select the option which allows you to speak to a human and be prepared for some expert and excellent customer service.
