How to Use This Maceo, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Maceo holds the quiet, low-slung geography of a place where the earth tilts toward the hidden moisture of Kelly Creek. It lies 9.0 miles northeast of Owensboro, KY (from Owensboro, KY: bearing 46°T), and is situated 4.7 miles north-northeast of Thruston. The landscape surrounding Maceo is defined by the heavy, fertile patience of the plains, where the horizon remains broad and unbroken by the distant, hazy blue of Sand Ridge ten miles to the south. Near the quiet waters of Carpenters Lake, the light at dusk takes on a thick, honeyed quality, catching the tall grasses and the persistent, dark green of the bottomland. The soil here feels dense and ancient, a place where the air carries the faint, cooling scent of damp limestone and the slow, deliberate work of the seasons.

History in Maceo is written in the furrows of the fields and the endurance of the local agricultural life that has long anchored the regional economy. Residents move with a steady, unforced pace, their lives dictated by the cycles of the harvest and the seasonal rhythm of the nearby Carpenter Lake, which serves as a quiet sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of the woods. While the distant, rugged terrain of the interior remains a backdrop, the immediate reality of the area is one of expansive, productive acreage and the subtle, persistent influence of the nearby Tywhapity Bottoms, which pull the water and the life of the land toward the low-lying basins. It is a place that does not demand attention, preferring the honest, quiet labor of those who recognize the value in the slow accumulation of time and the simple, reliable depth of the Kentucky earth.

About This Maceo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Maceo, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.86394, -86.993884. 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 Maceo includes the ZIP code (42355), telephone area code (270), county seat of Daviess County (Owensboro), and school district assignment (Daviess 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.
