Why is initMap returning "not a function" error.

I'm loading jQuery and Google Maps API using:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
            <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="_js/vendor/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"><\/script>')</script>
            <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_API_KEY&callback=initMap"></script>
            <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
            <script src="https://printjs-4de6.kxcdn.com/print.min.js"></script>

InitMap looks like:
 <script>

                      var map;
                      var thisLatLng;

                      function CenterControl(controlDiv, map){

                            // Set CSS for the control border.
                            var controlUI = document.createElement('div');
                            controlUI.style.backgroundColor = '#fff';
                            controlUI.style.border = '2px solid #fff';
                            controlUI.style.borderRadius = 0;
                            controlUI.style.boxShadow = '0 2px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.3)';
                            controlUI.style.cursor = 'pointer';
                            controlUI.style.marginBottom = '12px';
                            controlUI.style.textAlign = 'center';
                            controlUI.title = 'VIEW LARGER MAP';
                            controlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);

                            // Set CSS for the control interior.
                            var controlText = document.createElement('div');
                            controlText.style.color = 'rgba(0, 98, 101, 1)';     //'hsla(182, 100%, 20%, 1)';      //'rgb(25,25,25)';
                            controlText.style.fontFamily = 'Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif';
                            controlText.style.fontSize = '14px';
                            controlText.style.fontWeight='bold';
                            controlText.style.lineHeight = '24px';      //38px';
                            controlText.style.paddingLeft = '5px';
                            controlText.style.paddingRight = '5px';
                            controlText.innerHTML = 'VIEW LARGER MAP';
                            controlUI.appendChild(controlText);

                             // Setup the click event listeners
                            controlUI.addEventListener('click', function() {
                                  $('#googleMapLgModalArtessa').modal({

I don't see the problem. Hopefully someone will.
