How to Use This Poole, Kentucky Map

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

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 Poole, Kentucky

Poole is a locality in Webster County, Kentucky, United States. It is a small community with a population of 354. The population density is 140.9 people per km². Poole is located at 37.6403°N, 87.6442°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 42455, 42444.

Poole defines itself through the quiet, expansive reach of the Kentucky plains, where the horizon stretches wide under a sky that shifts from pale periwinkle to a deep, bruised violet as the afternoon wanes. It lies 13.9 miles south-southwest of Henderson, KY (from Henderson, KY: bearing 192°T), and is situated 14.3 miles northeast of Williams. The land here is characterized by subtle, muscular swells of earth, a topography shaped by centuries of agricultural patience rather than dramatic upheaval. Highland Creek traces a slow, deliberate path through the nearby soil, its waters often reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the fields during the harvest months. In the far distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of Persimmon Ridge provides a grounding anchor to the western view, reminding the observer of the ancient, slow-moving geology that underpins the region.

Poole carries the weight of a long agrarian tradition, where the economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the soil and the cycles of the seasons. Life here maintains an unforced pace, focused on the steady labor of the fields and the maintenance of a heritage built upon the endurance of the land. Residents find respite in the quietude of the surroundings, sometimes traveling toward the recreational expanse of Sebree Springs Park or spending a stillness-filled afternoon near the banks of Sportsman Lake. The character of the locale is found in the modest, well-tended fences and the way the air carries the scent of drying hay and turned earth, marking a place where the modern world is measured not by speed, but by the persistent, honest gravity of rural existence.

About This Poole Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Poole, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.640321, -87.644178. 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 Poole includes the ZIP code (42455, 42444), telephone area code (270), county seat of Webster County (Dixon), and school district assignment (Webster 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.
