Explore Hazel, 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 Hazel, 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 Hazel.
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.

Hazel unfolds across a landscape of flat, productive plains where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, inviting the sky to settle heavily upon the fields. It lies 7.5 miles south of Murray, KY (from Murray, KY: bearing 185°T), and is situated 13.8 miles north of Paris. The air here holds the damp, fertile scent of black soil, carrying the quiet hum of insects from the nearby East Fork Clarks River, which meanders through the landscape just a mile away. Hazel City Park/James R. Latner Park offers a small, quiet space for the afternoon light to stretch long across the grass, grounding the town in the unassuming elegance of the rural Midwest. Beyond the immediate reach of the park, the land dips toward the distant shadows of Bullfrog Hollow, providing a subtle relief to the otherwise level expanse that defines the physical character of the region.
Hazel traces its history back to the expansion of the rail lines, which once served as the primary pulse for the local economy and dictated the orientation of its modest storefronts. While the clatter of trains has faded, the mercantile spirit persists in the antique shops and local businesses that occupy the old buildings, maintaining a steady, deliberate pace of commerce. Farmers still work the surrounding acreage with a focus on the seasonal cycles of the soil, their efforts forming the silent backbone of the local livelihood. Ten miles to the east, the presence of Kentucky Lake influences the humidity of the summer evenings, while the distant, singular rise of Owens Hill provides a fixed point of reference in an otherwise expansive, agricultural world.

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.
