What this tracks
This dataset provides Kansas’s US National Grid (USNG) 1000-meter grid reference system for emergency response coordination.
Why it matters to you
If you’re a Kansas resident planning a backcountry trip or a small business owner assessing flood risks, this grid system helps first responders locate you precisely during emergencies. Knowing your USNG 1000m grid square (e.g., 01G) means search teams can narrow their efforts faster if you need help in remote areas. The Kansas Adjutant General’s Emergency Management Department uses this to coordinate disaster responses statewide.
How to read this data
GRID1MIL — A 3-character code identifying your 1000m x 1000m grid square (e.g., 01G). The first two digits are the grid zone, and the letter is the 1000m square identifier.
Try it yourself
Find your grid square by cross-referencing this dataset with a USNG-compatible map tool (like the USNG App) and note it for emergency plans or outdoor excursions.
