Explore Worthville, 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 Worthville, 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 Worthville.
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.

Worthville occupies a quiet stretch of land where the steady, rhythmic pulse of Eagle Creek shapes the surrounding terrain. It lies 21.9 miles northeast of La Grange, KY (from La Grange, KY: bearing 50°T), and is situated 7.8 miles southeast of Carrollton. The landscape here is characterized by the soft, limestone-rich soil typical of the region, where the light at dusk catches the tall grasses with a pale, amber clarity that turns the fields into shimmering bronze. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the earth rises into gentle, uneven swells that eventually smooth out toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains, visible only when the sky is stripped of its humidity. The proximity of the Twin Eagle Wildlife Management Area ensures that the air retains a heavy, wooded scent, even as the day cools and the shadows lengthen across the narrow, winding paths that define the perimeter of Worthville.
Economic life in Worthville remains tethered to the slow cycles of the land, reflecting a past built on modest agriculture and the careful stewardship of the Kentucky soil. Residents often look toward the nearby Robinson Hollow for a sense of shelter, where the land dips and holds the morning mist long after the sun has climbed over the ridges. Though the pace of daily existence is measured by the seasonal shifts of the crops and the occasional passage of heavy machinery, the area maintains a sturdy independence from the frantic movement of larger centers. Life here is not defined by external ambition, but by the quiet maintenance of fence lines and the knowledge that, should one travel far enough, the waters of Baxter Lake wait in the periphery, serving as a silent, distant mirror to the life that unfolds daily along the banks of Eagle Creek.

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.
