Explore Edgewood, Kentucky, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Edgewood, 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 Edgewood.
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.

Edgewood emerges from the gentle rise of the Kentucky landscape as a place where the light of late afternoon catches the limestone soil with a soft, pale luminescence. It lies 1.0 miles east of Erlanger, KY (from Erlanger, KY: bearing 82°T), and is situated 6.9 miles south-southwest of Cincinnati. Dry Creek winds its way through the nearby terrain, carving a quiet path that defines the local drainage and offers a cool refuge during the humid heat of midsummer. Residents often find respite at Silver Pond, a serene body of water that mirrors the passing clouds and provides a focal point for the surrounding greenery. While the Walnut Hills rise on the distant horizon to suggest the rugged character of the broader region, the immediate vicinity remains characterized by a pleasant, undulating topography. Unknown Park offers a modest expanse of open space where the wind stirs the grasses in a rhythmic, hushed motion.
Edgewood grew from the ambition of those who recognized the value of this fertile, inland territory for residential life. The local economy thrives today as a reflection of the larger regional focus on professional services, healthcare, and the steady commerce of the suburban corridor. Workers commute from these quiet streets toward the centers of enterprise, yet they return to a pace of life that feels intentionally insulated from the frantic churn of larger metropolitan hubs. Industry here is largely invisible, replaced by a quiet dedication to maintaining the quality of residential infrastructure and the preservation of communal spaces. The history of the land suggests a transition from quiet agricultural use to its current identity as a well-planned sanctuary. Commerce in Edgewood supports the daily needs of its citizens, ensuring that the essential character of the neighborhood remains undisturbed by heavy manufacturing.
Edgewood fosters a cultural identity rooted in the steady, neighborly values typical of the Upper South. Residents take pride in the appearance of their lawns and the quiet upkeep of their homes, creating a visual harmony that speaks to a collective appreciation for order. While the area does not host grand monuments, the presence of community-focused schools and local gatherings serves as the true heart of the social experience. Those seeking the deeper shade of the woods often travel toward Mitchell Memorial Forest, where the canopy thickens and the air grows heavy with the scent of pine and damp earth. No singular figure of global fame claims this soil as their birthplace, as the culture prefers the anonymous dignity of the private citizen over the glare of public recognition. Life moves forward here with a deliberate consistency, marked by the changing seasons and the simple, enduring cycle of the day.

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.
