Explore Westport, 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 Westport, 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 Westport.
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.

Westport reveals itself as a quiet intersection of steep limestone bluffs and the persistent, carving force of Eighteenmile Creek. It lies 7.2 miles northwest of La Grange, KY (from La Grange, KY: bearing 314°T), and is situated 3.9 miles east-northeast of Owen. The terrain here rises in rugged layers, where the dense deciduous canopy clings to the incline, casting long, cool shadows across the limestone-streaked earth. A few miles inland, the quiet waters of Circle Dart Lake settle into the topography, providing a still contrast to the active movement of the creek, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally marks the far horizon on clear days. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of river-bottom soil and decaying leaves, a fragrance that deepens when the afternoon light turns a pale, bruised gold against the canopy.
Westport preserves a legacy of slow, deliberate labor, grounded in the traditions of the river trade and the cultivation of the surrounding slopes. While the modern economy has shifted away from its earlier river-bound commerce, the remnants of this history persist in the weathered architecture that anchors the streets. Residents often venture toward the nearby Morgan Conservation Park to observe the seasonal shift of the woodlands, an activity that defines the local pace as much as the quiet productivity of the nearby farmland. Deeper into the landscape, the terrain dips into the shadows of Dunbar Hollow, where the silence is broken only by the rhythmic rustle of wind through the oaks, reflecting a way of life that remains tethered to the physical character of the land itself.

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.
