Explore Greenville, Kentucky, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Greenville, 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 Greenville.
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.

Greenville rises from the limestone-rich soil of western Kentucky, where the landscape stretches into a quiet persistence of fields and dense, hardwood timber. It lies 19.7 miles east-southeast of Madisonville, KY (from Madisonville, KY: bearing 116°T), and is situated 7.1 miles south-southwest of Central City. The Whiskey Run carves a narrow, winding path through the local topography, its waters often sluggish beneath the shade of overhanging sycamores. A short distance away, the quiet surface of Luzerne Lake reflects the heavy, humid sky, acting as a stillness that mirrors the gentle slope of the surrounding plains. To the west, the distant outline of Rapid Ridge breaks the horizon, a muted silhouette against the pale, bruised colors of a closing day. Within the immediate boundaries, J P Morgan Park offers a patch of maintained green space where the earth feels firm and reclaimed, a small anchor in a region defined by the slow, steady erosion of time and gravity.
Greenville carries the weight of a long-standing coal-camp memory, an industry that once dictated the pulse of every street and the soot-stained character of the architecture. The economy has shifted since the height of the mines, yet the town retains a self-contained gravity, a lingering sense of endurance that persists in the brick storefronts and the slow, deliberate pace of the afternoon traffic. The shadow of Boggess Hollow looms in the local lore, a reminder of the rugged, sunken geography that once isolated these settlements from the wider world. Life here moves with the rhythm of the changing seasons, a cycle of planting and harvest that connects the current residents to the older, simpler labor of their predecessors. It is a place where the air at dusk tastes of damp earth and cooling asphalt, preserving a quiet, distinct identity that remains largely untouched by the frenetic velocity of the modern world.

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.
