How to Use This Cannonsburg, Kentucky Map

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

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.

About Cannonsburg, Kentucky

Cannonsburg is a locality in Boyd County, Kentucky, United States. It is a small community with a population of 862. The population density is 190.9 people per km². Cannonsburg is located at 38.3808°N, 82.6964°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. ZIP code: 41102.

Cannonsburg anchors itself firmly within the landscape of eastern Kentucky, where the rhythmic flow of Marsh Run defines the local topography. It lies 7.1 miles south-southwest of Ashland, KY (from Ashland, KY: bearing 209°T), and is situated 9.3 miles south of Flatwoods. The terrain surrounding Cannonsburg consists of dense, verdant woodland and modest, clay-rich elevations that rise and fall with the slow, tectonic patience of the region. Sunlight here often filters through the canopy with a heavy, golden quality, catching the limestone dust that settles on the gravel shoulders of the roads. Two miles away, the quiet surface of Grandview Lake reflects the shifting patterns of the afternoon sky, while the descent into the nearby Meads Hollow reveals a cooler, shaded microclimate where the air remains damp and heavy with the scent of pine needles and turned earth.

The economic identity of Cannonsburg remains tied to the historical legacy of the Appalachian east, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the land’s subterranean resources and the steady, if quiet, pulse of local commerce. While the influence of the distant Appalachian Mountains looms in the collective memory of the older generations, the daily life of the residents is more immediately shaped by the proximity of Fannin Park, which offers a preserved space for the local flora to thrive undisturbed. The pace of work and social interaction in Cannonsburg follows the soft cadence of the Upper-South, characterized by a pragmatic resilience and a deep-seated familiarity with the seasons. It is a place where the architecture of the past—simple, utilitarian structures—sits comfortably alongside the modern infrastructure, maintaining a balance between the demands of the present and the quiet, persistent gravity of its heritage.

About This Cannonsburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cannonsburg, Kentucky. Coordinates: 38.380841, -82.696428. 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 Cannonsburg includes the ZIP code (41102), telephone area code (859), county seat of Boyd County (Catlettsburg), and school district assignment (Boyd 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.
