Explore Magnolia, 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 Magnolia, 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 Magnolia.
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.

Magnolia occupies a modest expanse of limestone-rich earth where the horizon is defined by the slow, deliberate rise of the land. It lies 18.4 miles south-southeast of Elizabethtown, KY (from Elizabethtown, KY: bearing 160°T), and is situated 9.0 miles south of Hodgenville. Sunlight pools in the morning, illuminating the fine, silty loam that characterizes the fields, while the nearby basin of Sand Hollow gathers the evening shadows into its deep, cool pockets. A quiet vitality stirs in the air, particularly where the waters of Bayne Creek carve a narrow, persistent path through the soil, offering a steady, rhythmic cadence to the landscape. To the far east, the distant silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains serves as a hazy, blue-tinged reminder of the wider geography, though the immediate view is one of open, sun-drenched pastures and dense clusters of hardwood that hold the morning dew long after the heat begins to climb.
Magnolia maintains a pace governed by the seasons of the harvest and the steady labor of its agricultural roots. The local economy remains tethered to these fertile grounds, where the industry of the soil dictates the flow of commerce and the quiet habits of daily life. Residents often seek recreation at the nearby Larue County Parks & Rec or find a moment of stillness beside the calm, unhurried surface of Sportsman Lake, which sits far enough away to ensure the silence remains undisturbed. There is a distinct, understated pride in the way the land is worked, a continuity of effort that links the present generation to those who first broke the turf. As evening settles, the soft amber glow reflecting off the limestone paths signals a day’s end in Magnolia, where the weight of time feels not like a burden, but like a familiar and comforting presence.

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.
