How to Use This Eminence, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Eminence rises from the undulating carpet of Kentucky’s limestone-rich interior, where the land stretches out in long, verdant swells that seem to hold the sun’s warmth well into the cooling evening. It lies 11.0 miles east-southeast of La Grange, KY (from La Grange, KY: bearing 103°T), and is situated 11.2 miles north-northeast of Shelbyville. Fox Run carves a quiet, persistent path through the local topography, its waters tracing the edges of pastures where the fence lines form precise, geometric patterns against the horizon. A mile away, the stillness of Eminence Lake mirrors the pale, expansive sky, providing a reflective counterpoint to the dense thickets and open meadows that define the immediate landscape. On clear days, the distant Appalachian Mountains appear as a faint, violet bruise against the far edge of the world, reminding the observer of the vast, landlocked reach of the terrain. The Eminence Pool Renovation offers a focal point for communal life, standing as a testament to the local commitment to maintaining the spaces where the days are measured by the slow shift of shadows across the grass.

Eminence carries the quiet weight of a regional history rooted in the fertile soil and the steady, rhythmic labor of its inhabitants. Long defined by the agricultural bounty of the surrounding plains, the local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the earth and the small-scale commerce that sustains the daily flow of life. While the distant, thundering descent of Drennon Falls marks the wilder topography of the wider region, the pace here is dictated by the turning seasons and the enduring character of the Upper South. Residents move with an awareness of the land’s history, recognizing the legacy of those who first cleared these fields, while the influence of nearby Fool Hollow adds a sense of depth to the local geography. Whether navigating the lanes that parallel the water or gathering at the public spaces that bind the neighborhood together, there is a tangible sense of continuity that anchors Eminence in its own quiet, unhurried reality.

About This Eminence Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Eminence, Kentucky. Coordinates: 38.370068, -85.18051. 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 Eminence includes the ZIP code (40019), telephone area code (502), county seat of Henry County (New Castle), and school district assignment (Eminence Independent 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.
