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 Lyon County, Kentucky, United States. It is a small community with a population of 258. The population density is 82.5 people per km². Fairview is located at 36.8422°N, 87.3108°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 42038, 40342, 40769.

Fairview occupies a quiet expanse of land where the moisture-rich soil gathers along the banks of Horseapple Creek. It lies 29.6 miles east of Paducah, KY (from Paducah, KY: bearing 88°T), and is situated 1.0 miles east-northeast of Eddyville. The landscape here favors a gentle, persistent slope that eventually rises toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Black Sulphur Ridge. In the stillness of late afternoon, the light settles over the fields in long, amber slats, illuminating the limestone deposits that peek through the topsoil like sun-bleached bone. Residents find their recreation within the modest bounds of Eddyville City Park 2, while the nearby presence of Lake Barkley acts as a low, cool anchor for the humid Kentucky air.

Fairview maintains a rhythm dictated by the seasonal cycle of the land, drawing its character from generations of agricultural labor. The local economy persists in the quiet tradition of small-scale farming and the steady commerce of the surrounding plains, far removed from the frantic noise of larger industrial centers. Tinsley Hollow provides a natural drainage basin that has long defined the local drainage and settlement patterns, guiding the way the roads curve through the countryside. Life in Fairview feels deliberate, marked by the soft, deliberate pace of those who recognize that the worth of a place is measured by the way the shadow of the evening falls across a fence line or the way the water moves through the creek bed.
