How to Use This Middletown, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Middletown reveals itself through the steady, low-slung movement of Perkins Creek as it carves a path through the limestone-rich earth. It lies 26.5 miles west of Somerset, KY (from Somerset, KY: bearing 259°T), and is situated 2.6 miles south-southeast of Russell Springs. The landscape here is defined by soft, agrarian contours that pull the eye toward the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains, which anchor the horizon eighty-seven miles to the east. During the golden hour, the light thickens, casting long shadows across the fields and turning the local grasses into a pale, shifting copper. While the land remains firmly landlocked and miles from any significant basin like Jack Hollow, the air holds a quiet, heavy moisture, cooling noticeably as the sun slips behind the western ridges. Residents often find their way toward the green, quiet spaces of Jamestown City Park, where the trees stand as silent witnesses to the slow passage of afternoon hours.

Middletown carries the weight of a long-settled interior, having evolved from a humble crossroads into a place where the economy remains tethered to the rhythm of local commerce and the steady pulse of the surrounding bluegrass. The history of the area is etched into the very soil, which once supported the foundational industries of the Upper South and still bears the quiet influence of early trade routes. Though Lake Cumberland lies a few miles away, the daily life of Middletown is governed more by the intersection of paved lanes and the persistent, unhurried growth of a neighborhood that values its regional character over the frantic pace of larger hubs. Even as modern transit lines have reshaped the commute, a distinct sense of persistence remains, visible in the way the architecture clings to the limestone foundations and the deliberate, measured way the inhabitants engage with their day.

About This Middletown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Middletown, Kentucky. Coordinates: 38.242082, -85.520741. 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 Middletown includes the ZIP code (40403, 42642, 40243), telephone area code (270, 502), county seat of Russell County (Jamestown), and school district assignment (Jefferson 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.
