How to Use This Bellewood, Kentucky Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bellewood, 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 Bellewood.

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.

Bellewood occupies a quiet, manicured pocket of the Kentucky landscape where the earth sits level and heavy with the promise of limestone beneath the topsoil. It lies 1.6 miles northwest of St. Matthews, KY (from St. Matthews, KY: bearing 307°T), and is situated 5.4 miles east of Louisville. The air here holds a distinct stillness, often thick with the scent of damp earth and the cooling breath of Muddy Fork as it creeps through the undergrowth only a mile away. Within the boundaries of Bellewood, the light at dusk settles in long, amber slats against the trunks of mature hardwoods, casting shadows that seem to stretch toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains. Residents find their solitude within the green perimeter of Holzheimer Park, where the grass grows thick and the silence is broken only by the sharp, rhythmic call of meadowlarks.

History in Bellewood reflects the measured growth of an independent residential enclave, distinct from the sprawling industrial corridors that define much of the surrounding region. The local economy relies on the quiet exchange of professional services and the maintenance of a stable, leafy residential character that has resisted the rapid, noisy expansion common to the periphery of major cities. While the Falls of the Ohio churns five miles off, carving its ancient path, life here proceeds with a deliberate, low-profile grace. Residents might travel sixteen miles to find the deep, shadowed canopy of Jefferson County Memorial Forest for a weekend respite, yet they remain anchored to the specific, comfortable rhythm of their own streets. Even the proximity of Lakeside Pool, a mere three miles distant, serves as a testament to the localized, modest scale of daily life that defines the identity of Bellewood.
