How to Use This Combs, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Combs occupies a narrow, deliberate sliver of land defined by the persistent, rhythmic hum of the Lick Branch as it carves through the earth. It lies 63.0 miles east-southeast of Berea, KY (from Berea, KY: bearing 109°T), and is situated 1.6 miles northwest of Hazard. The air here holds a heavy, cool moisture, often clinging to the steep incline of the ridges that rise sharply toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. To the west, the quietude of Jack Lot Hollow offers a deeper stillness, where shadows pool early in the day and the light filters through dense, dark timber. Only a mile away, Perry County Park provides a expanse of managed green, a stark contrast to the rugged, untamed slopes that dominate the horizon. In the late afternoon, the sun catches the limestone dust in the air, casting a pale, metallic glow over the creek bed and the weathered, uneven ground that defines the physical character of Combs.

History here is written in the deep, stratified seams of the earth and the enduring legacy of the coal-camp era that once dictated the pulse of the regional economy. While the heavy machinery of the past has largely quieted, the remnants of that industry remain in the topography of the land, visible in the leveled ridgelines and the quiet, industrious spirit of the people who remain. Residents often look toward the wider reaches of the region, perhaps venturing ten miles out to the banks of Carr Fork Lake for a respite from the intensity of the hollows. Life in Combs moves with a deliberate, measured pace, grounded in a local culture that values the weight of tradition and the quiet familiarity of neighbors who have shared these slopes for generations. The economy has shifted, yet the resilience of the landscape continues to shape the daily existence of those who call this place home.
