How to Use This Belfry, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Belfry emerges from the low-lying shadows of Orinoco Hollow, where the land holds its breath in the heavy, humid stillness of the Kentucky afternoon. It lies 62.6 miles south-southeast of Ashland, KY (from Ashland, KY: bearing 161°T), and is situated 3.8 miles south of Williamson. Pond Creek carves a deliberate, muddy path through the earth, its slow current reflecting the muted gray of a sky that seems to press against the tops of the trees. The light here has a way of thickening as it filters through the dense canopy, casting long, bruised violet shadows across the soil. Two miles away, the quiet expanse of Hardy Park offers a reprieve of tall, unkempt grasses and silent timber, a stark contrast to the distant, jagged silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains that hover like a faint memory on the eastern horizon.

Belfry carries the weight of a quiet endurance, its character shaped by the cyclical rhythm of the regional coal-camp memory that once defined the aspirations of every household. The economy long ago shifted away from the frantic pace of the extraction industry, leaving behind a landscape that feels contemplative and solitary, as if the buildings themselves are waiting for a season that never quite arrives. Residents move with a deliberate, measured gait, their lives tethered to the local soil and the occasional trip toward the distant shimmering surface of Laurel Lake for a moment of quiet reflection. There is a distinct, understated grace in how Belfry persists, finding a modest beauty in the way the twilight settles against the limestone, turning the hard, craggy edges of the earth into something soft and forgiving.

About This Belfry Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Belfry, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.62038, -82.269029. 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 Belfry includes the ZIP code (41514), telephone area code (859), county seat of Pike County (Pikeville), and school district assignment (Pike County School District).

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.
