How to Use This Brownsville, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Brownsville rises from the limestone-rich earth where the winding Tull Creek carves a path through the dense, verdant woodland. It lies 11.7 miles northwest of Union City, TN (from Union City, TN: bearing 311°T), and is situated 3.0 miles southwest of Hickman. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness in the afternoons, thick with the scent of damp soil and the slow, rhythmic hum of insects rising from the brush. To the distant horizon, the silhouette of Hickory Ridge anchors the sky, its muted green slopes shifting into shades of bruised violet as the sun retreats. Beyond the immediate canopy, the land settles into a quiet expanse of fields and timber, where the light hits the uneven ground in long, golden strokes, revealing the subtle, ancient wrinkles of the terrain.

Brownsville maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, anchored by the modest commerce and local trade that have sustained families for generations. Residents often seek the quiet borders of Hickman Riverpark for a respite from the day’s labor, watching the shadows lengthen across the grass while the evening cool settles over the lowlands. Those who venture further might find the calm surface of Blue Pond, a place where the water remains undisturbed, reflecting the dense trees that crowd its edges. The economy remains tethered to the land and the quiet industry of the region, ensuring that the character of Brownsville stays rooted in the simple, enduring realities of the soil and the seasonal turn of the woods.

About This Brownsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Brownsville, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.194914, -86.265255. 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 Brownsville includes the ZIP code (42050, 42210), telephone area code (270, 364), county seat of Fulton County (Hickman), and school district assignment (Edmonson 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.
