How to Use This Lowes, Kentucky Map

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

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.

About Lowes, Kentucky

Lowes is a locality in Graves County, Kentucky, United States. It is a small community with a population of 92. The population density is 51.9 people per km². Lowes is located at 36.8856°N, 88.7739°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 42035, 42061.

Lowes stretches across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Little Brush Creek, which carves a narrow, winding path through the fertile soil of the region. It lies 16.7 miles southwest of Paducah, KY (from Paducah, KY: bearing 215°T), and is situated 9.4 miles south-southwest of Massac. The earth here holds a damp, dark weight, supporting a mosaic of agricultural fields that transition into dense woodland as one moves away from the water. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Redbird Ridge marks the horizon, a faint serrated edge against the sky that provides a sense of scale to the otherwise level expanse. The light in the late afternoon possesses a particular, honeyed quality, catching the moisture rising from the ground and turning the air into a translucent veil that softens the hard lines of fence posts and barns. Only two miles distant, the still surface of Lowe Lake acts as a mirror for the shifting clouds, grounding the territory in a geography of slow, deliberate cycles.

History in Lowes is measured not in grand monuments, but in the enduring rhythm of the harvest and the steady labor of those who work the land. The local economy remains deeply rooted in the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where the seasonal turning of crops dictates the pace of life. While the quietude of the fields dominates, the proximity of the Obion Creek Wildlife Management Area serves as a reminder of the wilder, unmanaged spaces that persist tenaciously just ten miles away. Residents move through their days with an awareness of these boundaries, recognizing that the character of Lowes is shaped as much by the quiet flow of the creek as by the generations of families who have cultivated this patch of the interior. It is a place where the stillness of the evening is not an absence of sound, but a presence, filled with the hum of insects and the subtle, cooling shift in the wind.

About This Lowes Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lowes, Kentucky. Coordinates: 36.885612, -88.773943. 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 Lowes includes the ZIP code (42035, 42061), telephone area code (270, 364), county seat of Graves County (Mayfield), and school district assignment (Graves 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.
