Explore Maytown, 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 Maytown, 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 Maytown.
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.

Maytown sits upon the undulating terrain of the Kentucky landscape, defined by the persistent, winding course of Blackwater Creek that carves its way through the local soil. It lies 39.8 miles east-southeast of Winchester, KY (from Winchester, KY: bearing 104°T), and is situated 12.6 miles west-southwest of West Liberty. The environment is dominated by dense, deciduous woodland that transitions into the protected expanse of Daniel Boone National Forest, which begins a mere two miles from the perimeter. In the quiet hours of the morning, the light catches the limestone-rich earth, illuminating the deep greens of the brush and the muted shadows cast by the distant Appalachian Mountains that define the eastern horizon. The air here carries a weight of moisture and earth, a cool stillness that persists even as the sun climbs high above the canopy. Residents often find their way toward the rushing waters of Broken Leg Falls to witness the kinetic energy of the land, or they venture further afield toward the expansive, still surface of Cave Run Lake for a reprieve from the heat of the summer months.
Maytown maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, rooted in a heritage that honors the slow cultivation of the land and the quiet industry of the Kentucky interior. The local economy persists through a mix of small-scale agriculture and the modest commerce that supports those living near the woodlands, echoing a history of resourcefulness and self-reliance. While the more rugged trails like the Swiftcamp Creek Trail offer a challenge to those who seek the solitude of the forest, the daily life of the population remains tethered to the rhythms of the seasons and the cycle of the harvest. There is a distinct sobriety in the architecture and the layout of the streets, reflecting a culture that values the endurance of the family line and the preservation of the regional vernacular. Even as the modern world shifts, Maytown preserves its identity through the simple, enduring connection between the people and the limestone-laden ground they call home.

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.
