Explore Lebanon, 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 Lebanon, 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 Lebanon.
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.

Lebanon holds a quiet presence amidst the limestone-rich fields that define this interior portion of Kentucky. It lies 16.4 miles north-northeast of Campbellsville, KY (from Campbellsville, KY: bearing 17°T), and is situated 8.2 miles south-southwest of Springfield. The Hood Branch flows with a steady, unassuming purpose through the landscape, acting as a natural vein for the surrounding fields and woodlands. Far to the east, the Appalachian Mountains exist only as a distant, hazy silhouette against the horizon, leaving the immediate terrain to its own rhythm of gentle slopes and fertile soil. Residents often find respite at AL Bilik Park, where the open spaces allow for a deep, unobstructed view of the changing sky. When the light dims at dusk, the atmosphere takes on a soft, amber quality that seems to settle deeply into the earth. Four miles away, the quiet depression of Rogue Hollow provides a contrast to the flatter pastures that stretch toward Fagan Branch Reservoir.
Lebanon emerged from the early ambition of settlers who recognized the agricultural potential of this fertile plateau. The local economy has long been anchored by a tradition of craftsmanship, particularly in the production of spirits that rely on the specific mineral content of the regional water. Industries here have evolved from simple milling and farming into a diverse mix of manufacturing and commerce that supports the daily needs of the residents. The grit of manual labor remains a respected component of the identity, reflecting a history of resilience and steady growth. Small-scale commerce thrives along the main thoroughfares, where the exchange of goods and ideas keeps the local pulse regular and strong. A sense of practical industry defines the workdays, ensuring that Lebanon remains a self-reliant contributor to the broader regional economy.
Lebanon carries a cultural character shaped by a blend of Southern tradition and a quiet, forward-looking pragmatism. Notable landmarks stand as markers of a shared heritage, anchoring the identity of the people who walk these streets every day. Public gatherings, often centered around seasonal harvest events or local celebrations, serve as the primary rhythm for communal life. While many individuals have contributed to the legacy of the region, the town is perhaps most widely recognized for its association with the esteemed writer Elizabeth Madox Roberts, whose literature captured the distinct voice of the Kentucky experience. The social fabric is composed of long-standing family ties and a neighborly expectation that one will contribute to the common good. Life here moves with an intentional, measured pace, favoring the depth of local connection over the rapid distractions of larger, more impersonal places.

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.
