How to Use This Arlington, Kentucky Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arlington, 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 Arlington.
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.

ZIP codes: 40475, 42021.Arlington endures as a quiet expanse of fertile soil and wide, open horizons where the land yields to the steady carving of Hurricane Creek. It lies 30.5 miles southwest of Paducah, KY (from Paducah, KY: bearing 229°T), and is situated 17.9 miles north-northeast of Hickman. The earth here possesses a deep, loamy weight, supporting vast stretches of farmland that stretch toward the faint, serrated silhouette of O'Bryan Ridge on the distant horizon. Within the village limits, the modest grounds of Arlington City Park offer a verdant stillness, where the air often carries the heavy, humid scent of ripening crops and damp soil. At dusk, the light loses its sharp edges, casting a long, amber glow that softens the lines of the fields and transforms the surrounding woodland into a deepening shade of indigo.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, a legacy shaped by the persistent rhythm of planting and harvest that has anchored the inhabitants of Arlington for generations. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, influenced by the proximity of the water and the seasonal demands of the surrounding fields. While the stillness is profound, the presence of Indian Camp Lake just a few miles away provides a subtle, cooling reprieve during the height of the summer heat. Residents maintain a quiet connection to the land, preserving a way of life that values the tangible output of the soil over the frantic pace of more densely populated regions.

About This Arlington Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arlington, Kentucky. Coordinates: 36.789805, -89.013153. 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 Arlington includes the ZIP code (40475, 42021), telephone area code (502, 270, 364), county seat of Carlisle County (Bardwell), and school district assignment (Carlisle County School District).
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.
