How to Use This Hillview, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Hillview emerges from the landscape where the Nolin River carves a slow, deliberate path through the limestone-rich soil of the region. It lies 24.4 miles north-northeast of Bowling Green, KY (from Bowling Green, KY: bearing 29°T), and is situated 13.0 miles south-southeast of Leitchfield. Low-slung ridges define the horizon, with the faint, hazy silhouette of Collie Ridge marking the distance to the east. The terrain remains dominated by dense, deciduous woodlands and patches of fertile earth, while the Nolin River Lake Wildlife Management Area offers a vast expanse of protected habitat that dictates the rhythm of the local wilderness. In the quiet hours of an autumn afternoon, the sunlight catches the amber leaves of the oaks, turning the air into a golden haze that settles heavy and still over the riverbanks.

History in Hillview remains tethered to the slow development of the central Kentucky interior, far from the industrial clamor of larger hubs. Life here revolves around the land and the modest commerce that supports the surrounding farms, with the nearby expanse of Nolin Lake serving as a primary point of recreation for those who favor the stillness of the water. Residents often look toward Cove Hollow as a natural boundary, a basin that holds the cool shadows of the morning long after the sun has climbed high. The economy maintains a steady, deliberate pace, grounded in the traditions of a region that values its autonomy and the quiet, recurring cycles of the seasons.

About This Hillview Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hillview, Kentucky. Coordinates: 38.061687, -85.696771. 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 Hillview includes the ZIP code (42207, 40229), telephone area code (270, 502), county seat of Edmonson County (Brownsville), and school district assignment (Bullitt 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.
