Explore Edmonton, 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 Edmonton, 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 Edmonton.
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.

Edmonton claims a quiet geography where the South Fork Little Barren River carves a deliberate path through the limestone-rich soil of the Kentucky landscape. It lies 16.6 miles east of Glasgow, KY (from Glasgow, KY: bearing 94°T), and is situated 18.9 miles west-southwest of Columbia. Sunlight here often catches the heavy, verdant moisture of the air, turning the late afternoon sky into a bruised plum color that settles over the low-lying karst topography. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a permanent anchor on the horizon, while the terrain closer at hand breaks into the shadowed, cooler depths of Roach Hollow. A mile from the center of activity, Edmonton City Park offers a stretch of green space where the pace of the day slows to match the movement of the clouds, and four miles out, the still surface of County Lake reflects the shifting patterns of the trees.
Agriculture and the steady hum of local commerce define the character of Edmonton, grounding the economy in the productive capacity of the surrounding fields and the practical needs of the people. The history of the area is written in the slow transition from early homesteads to a modern trade hub, where the vernacular of the Upper South remains a constant, rhythmic presence in conversation. Life in Edmonton turns on the seasonal cycle of harvest and the familiar requirements of daily work, maintaining a deliberate distance from the frantic speed of larger urban centers. Residents move through their routines with a practiced efficiency, finding stability in the persistent flow of the South Fork Little Barren River and the quiet, enduring nature of a life lived close to the land.

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.
