How to Use This Centertown, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Centertown emerges from the flat, agrarian expanse of the region, defined primarily by the persistent, winding presence of Big Run as it carves through the local silt and clay. It lies 25.5 miles south-southeast of Owensboro, KY (from Owensboro, KY: bearing 165°T), and is situated 6.7 miles west of Beaver Dam. The landscape here is characterized by broad fields that flatten into a horizon broken only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Backbone Ridge. During the late afternoon, the light takes on a singular, amber quality, casting long shadows across the fallow earth and illuminating the dust kicked up by the wind. While the terrain remains largely open, the atmosphere is heavy with the scent of damp soil and the quiet, persistent growth of tangled thickets that cling to the banks of the nearby waterways.

Centertown maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life that reflects its deep-rooted history in agriculture and the extraction industries that once defined the broader economy of the region. Families have occupied these plots for generations, keeping a careful watch over the modest storefronts and the infrastructure that connects the area to the wider state. When the day’s work concludes, residents often retreat toward the quiet seclusion of Tucker Hollow or find relief from the heat in the wooded shade surrounding Mchenry Community Park. The memory of coal-camp life and the labor of the past still linger in the vernacular of the elders, though the current reality of Centertown is one of quiet transition, where the stillness of a summer evening is interrupted only by the rustle of dry stalks and the distant, rhythmic hum of a passing tractor.
