How to Use This Earlington, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Earlington occupies a quiet corner of the landscape where the land settles into a series of gentle swells, marked by the persistent, rhythmic flow of Clear Creek. It lies 3.8 miles south of Madisonville, KY (from Madisonville, KY: bearing 191°T), and is situated 19.0 miles west-northwest of Greenville. The air here holds the damp, fertile weight of a region defined by its proximity to the Loch Mary Reservoir, whose still, dark surface reflects the shifting clouds above. To the north, the distant silhouettes of the Barnsley Hills provide a jagged frame for the horizon, while the terrain dips into the shadowed, cooler depths of Beech Hollow. Sunlight filters through the canopy in thin, golden needles, illuminating the rich, iron-heavy soil that characterizes the earth beneath one’s boots.

Earlington carries the quiet gravity of a place built upon the industry of the earth, where the legacy of coal extraction lingers in the architecture and the deliberate, unhurried gait of its residents. The presence of the Earlington Historical Marker serves as a silent anchor, grounding the daily movement of the neighborhood in the long, complex chapters of its industrial past. While the economy has shifted away from the soot and steam of earlier decades, the town maintains a steady, internal coherence, moving through its days with a resilience born of deep-rooted connections to the soil. Life here unfolds with a modest clarity, defined by the changing seasons and the persistent, slow-moving presence of the water nearby.

About This Earlington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Earlington, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.274212, -87.511944. 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 Earlington includes the ZIP code (42410, 42431), telephone area code (270), county seat of Hopkins County (Madisonville), and school district assignment (Hopkins 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.
