How to Use This McKinney, Kentucky Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for McKinney, 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 McKinney.
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.

ZIP codes: 40437, 40448.McKinney holds the quiet confluence of earth and water, where McKinney Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the limestone-rich fields of the central landscape. It lies 13.4 miles south of Danville, KY (from Danville, KY: bearing 177°T), and is situated 7.6 miles southwest of Stanford. The terrain here is defined by a rhythmic succession of gentle rises and depressions, leading toward the shadowed, sunken expanse of Boneyard Hollow just a mile away. When the afternoon sun sinks low, it casts a pale, amber light across the fields, illuminating the dust motes that hang suspended in the humid, still air. On the distant horizon, the faint, bruised silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains serve as a reminder of the rugged, elevated world that lies far beyond these fertile, inland plains.
McKinney persists as a lingering echo of an agrarian heritage, where the economy remains tethered to the slow cycles of soil cultivation and the modest pulse of local trade. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a season, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers, though the proximity of the Stanford Reservoir provides a steady, silent anchor for the regional hydrology. Many who pass through the area find their way to Ruritan Park, where the openness of the grounds offers a reprieve from the dense, tangled thickets of the surrounding woodland. McKinney preserves a distinct, understated character, defined by the limestone bedrock beneath its feet and a social rhythm that acknowledges the quiet, steady labor of the land.

About This McKinney Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of McKinney, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.452577, -84.759114. 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 McKinney includes the ZIP code (40437, 40448), telephone area code (502), county seat of Lincoln County (Stanford), and school district assignment (Lincoln 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.
