How to Use This Cecilia, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Cecilia anchors itself upon the quiet limestone foundations of the Kentucky landscape, where the land stretches out in broad, fertile fields that hold the morning light with a pale, steady clarity. It lies 5.7 miles west-southwest of Elizabethtown, KY (from Elizabethtown, KY: bearing 250°T), and is situated 5.8 miles south of Rineyville. West Rhudes Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the terrain, its waters drawing a silver thread through the soil that feeds the surrounding pastures. Beyond the immediate meadows, the horizon remains open and vast, though on the clearest of days, the distant shadow of the Appalachian Mountains might tease the edge of the sky. Residents often gather in Community Park, a space that serves as the quiet center of the immediate geography, while the nearby waters of Hicks Lake offer a stillness that mirrors the slow drift of clouds above the fields.

Cecilia emerged from the steady pulse of agrarian life, building its identity through the labor of those who worked the rich, mineral-heavy earth. The local economy remains tethered to this legacy, defined by the seasonal rhythms of harvest and the patient upkeep of the land that has sustained families for generations. While the influence of larger trade routes occasionally brushes against the edges of the local experience, the pace of life in Cecilia stays rooted in the domestic and the familiar, far from the frantic hum of industrial centers. Deep in the limestone bedrock, the history of the region is etched into the very character of the people, who maintain a quiet connection to the geography of Nalls Valley and the surrounding plains.

About This Cecilia Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cecilia, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.665896, -85.95663. 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 Cecilia includes the ZIP code (42724), telephone area code (270), county seat of Hardin County (Elizabethtown), and school district assignment (Hardin 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.
