How to Use This Dixon, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Dixon unfolds across a landscape of quiet, agrarian patience where the low, verdant swells of the earth define the horizon. It lies 16.8 miles northwest of Madisonville, KY (from Madisonville, KY: bearing 321°T), and is situated 9.3 miles east of Williams. Farmers Creek traces a slow, deliberate path past the edges of the settlement, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of the afternoon sky. Beyond the immediate fields, the distant silhouette of Persimmon Ridge marks the boundary of the world, a muted blue line against the haze. Within the center of the locality, City Lake holds a stillness that anchors the surrounding meadows, while the open greens of Dixon City Park offer a place for the day to slow its pace. The air here holds a clean, sharp scent of damp soil and drying stalks, a sensory reminder of the land’s heavy, productive weight.

Dixon serves as the administrative core of its county, a place where the economy remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of the harvest and the steady hands of local commerce. The history of the locality is written in the weathered brick of older storefronts and the sprawling, utilitarian lines of the surrounding farms that have sustained families for generations. Life in Dixon proceeds with a deliberate, unadorned focus, favoring the reliability of long-standing social ties over the frantic velocity of larger centers. On quiet evenings, the shadows lengthen across the gravel and asphalt, emphasizing a character defined by persistence and a deep, unspoken connection to the soil that keeps the region bound to its heritage.

About This Dixon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dixon, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.517822, -87.690289. 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 Dixon includes the ZIP code (42409), telephone area code (270), county seat of Webster County (Dixon), and school district assignment (Webster 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.
