Explore White Plains, 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 White Plains, 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 White Plains.
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.

White Plains exists as a quiet accumulation of limestone foundations and open fields, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed by the jagged silhouettes of distant mountain ranges. It lies 11.8 miles south-southeast of Madisonville, KY (from Madisonville, KY: bearing 148°T), and is situated 16.2 miles west-southwest of Central City. The local topography favors a gentle, sweeping terrain that invites the morning light to settle long and thin across the soil, illuminating the modest expanse of White Plains City Park. To the west, the land dips toward the path of Drakes Creek, a waterway that marks the landscape with a persistent, quiet fluidity, while the more distant Barnsley Hills provide a faint, hazy boundary to the east. Beyond the immediate clearings, the earth holds the memory of ancient geological shifts, creating a subtle, undulating expanse that feels distinct from the rugged, forested elevation found miles away in the Pennyrile State Forest.
Economic life in White Plains draws its endurance from the persistent rhythm of the land, reflecting a legacy built upon the deep, fertile earth and the steady labor of those who work it. History here is felt in the weight of the soil and the way the light catches the dust on a harvest afternoon, rather than in grand monuments or stone-carved records. Life moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, occasionally punctuated by the quietude found near the edges of Long Pond or the sheltered depth of Beech Hollow. While the modern world presses in with its own frantic requirements, the identity of White Plains remains anchored in its regional character, maintaining a stoic patience that persists long after the sun has slipped behind the western rise of the fields.

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.
