How to Use This Oak Grove, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Oak Grove occupies a stretch of Kentucky land defined by the quiet persistence of limestone bedrock and the subtle, rhythmic shifts of the terrain. It lies 29.9 miles northwest of Bowling Green, KY (from Bowling Green, KY: bearing 325°T), and is situated 7.8 miles east-southeast of Beaver Dam. The landscape here is characterized by open fields and modest elevations, where the earth hums with the subterranean weight of ancient stone. A short distance away, the quiet flow of West Prong Indian Camp Creek carves a path through the soil, while the land rises toward the modest, rounded prominence of Tilford Knob. Just beyond the immediate horizon, the depressions of Holston Hollow offer a contrast to the flatter, sun-drenched pastures that define the broader local geography. The light at dusk here possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, settling over the grass like a cooling shroud that turns the common gray of the fence posts into silver.

Oak Grove carries the weight of a history rooted in the intersection of agricultural tradition and the persistent influence of nearby military presence. The local economy finds its pulse in the steady movement of commerce and the daily labor of those who serve, creating an environment that feels both transient and deeply anchored. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of Highview Hill for a respite from the mechanical hum of modern life, finding in that space a stillness that mirrors the deeper, slower tempo of the region. Even the memory of Martin Lake, waiting fourteen miles to the north, exerts a quiet pull on the imagination, serving as a reminder of the water that shapes the wider provincial map. Life in Oak Grove moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands its own boundaries, finding grace in the unremarkable beauty of a long-shadowed afternoon.

About This Oak Grove Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oak Grove, Kentucky. Coordinates: 36.673774, -87.422506. 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 Oak Grove includes the ZIP code (42001, 40165, 42333), telephone area code (270), county seat of Ohio County (Hartford), and school district assignment (Christian 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.
