Explore Inez, 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 Inez, 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 Inez.
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.

Inez occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of the Coldwater Fork, which carves a narrow, winding path through the rugged terrain of eastern Kentucky. It lies 42.6 miles south of Ashland, KY (from Ashland, KY: bearing 173°T), and is situated 15.1 miles east-northeast of Paintsville. The land around Inez rises into steep, timbered ridges that cast long, violet shadows across the hollows as the afternoon light wanes, leaving the air cool and damp with the scent of wet shale and decaying leaves. Beyond the immediate banks of the riverbed, the elevation climbs toward a horizon where the distant, hazy blue outlines of the Appalachian Mountains suggest a vast and ancient permanence. Near the stillness of the Curtis Crum Reservoir, the ground settles into a quiet composure, where the dense canopy of the surrounding woodland softens the sharp edges of the terrain and provides a sanctuary for the local wildlife.
Inez carries the weight of a regional history deeply tethered to the extraction of coal, a legacy that lingers in the weathered architecture and the deliberate, measured pace of daily life. The economy, once dominated entirely by the mines, now shifts through a transition that echoes the slow, geological transformations of the nearby Bone Hollow, where the earth seems to hold onto its secrets with a stubborn gravity. Residents gather at Inez Park to mark the passage of the seasons, finding a communal space that remains largely indifferent to the frantic speed of the world beyond these hills. Life in Inez remains centered on the endurance of its people, who maintain a quiet, unyielding connection to the limestone-rich soil and the traditions that have survived the boom and bust of industrial cycles.

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.
