How to Use This Fairview, Kentucky Map

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

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.

About Fairview, Kentucky

Fairview is a locality in Christian County, Kentucky, United States. It is a small community with a population of 258. The population density is 82.5 people per km².

Fairview occupies a quiet expanse of Kentucky soil where the horizon is defined by the steady, rhythmic rise and fall of fertile farmland. It lies 10.3 miles east of Hopkinsville, KY (from Hopkinsville, KY: bearing 98°T), and is situated 18.8 miles north of Saint Bethlehem. The earth here holds a deep, limestone-rich quality that encourages a persistent, vibrant greenery, stretching toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Tucker Ridge. Water moves with deliberate, slow purpose through the landscape, channeled by the modest currents of Montgomery Creek, while the deeper stillness of Ewing Lake creates a glass-like surface that reflects the shifting clouds of the afternoon. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain dips into the subtle, shaded geometry of Jones Hollow, where the light at dusk softens, turning the grass into a muted, velvet gray before the night settles over the open plains.

Fairview serves as a sentinel of a complex, layered past, anchored physically and culturally by the presence of the Jefferson Davis State Historic Site. The economy remains rooted in the patient cycles of agriculture, a tradition that dictates the pace of the day and keeps the local pulse synchronized with the seasons of planting and harvest. Life in Fairview proceeds with a grounded, unassuming gravity, where the weight of history is felt not in loud declarations, but in the enduring architecture and the quiet, persistent talk of those who tend the soil. It is a place where the modern world feels distant, filtered through the rustle of crops and the long, quiet shadows cast by a history that remains as tactile and present as the limestone beneath the surface.

About This Fairview Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fairview, Kentucky. Coordinates: 36.842226, -87.310768. 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 Fairview includes the ZIP code (42038, 40342, 40769), telephone area code (606, 270), county seat of Christian County (Hopkinsville), and school district assignment (Christian 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.
