How to Use This Kenansville, North Carolina Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kenansville, North Carolina. 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 North Carolina 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 Kenansville.

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.

Kenansville occupies a quiet expanse of the coastal plain where the earth holds a deep, dark moisture and the horizon remains low and wide. It lies 29.2 miles south of Goldsboro, NC (from Goldsboro, NC: bearing 177°T), and is situated 7.7 miles east-southeast of Warsaw. Grove Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the landscape, its waters feeding the surrounding woodlands that shift from dense stands of pine to broad, open fields. At the center of the settlement, the Town of Kenansville - Kenansville Municipal Park offers a green commons where the air carries the scent of damp soil and the heavy, sweet stillness of the afternoon. The light here has a way of thickening as the sun begins to retreat, casting long, amber shadows across the flat terrain that seem to anchor the buildings to the ground with a quiet, persistent gravity.

History remains etched into the architecture of Kenansville, where the legacy of agricultural industry continues to shape the character of the streets. The local economy has long relied on the bounty of these fields, a tradition that persists in the way the land is worked and the steady, unpretentious pace of daily labor. People move with a measured intention, mindful of the seasons that dictate the rhythm of the harvest and the growth of the crops. While the larger world moves at a frantic clip, life here finds its own balance, occasionally turning toward the quiet waters of Johnsons Lake for a moment of pause. It is a place where the past is not merely a memory, but a living component of how the day begins and how the work is finished.

About This Kenansville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kenansville, North Carolina. Coordinates: 34.962388, -77.962207. 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 Kenansville includes the ZIP code (28349), telephone area code (704, 980), county seat of Duplin County (Kenansville), and school district assignment (Duplin County Schools).

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.
