How to Use This Munfordville, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Munfordville holds a quiet, enduring presence where the Green River carves a deep, serpentine path through the limestone bedrock of the landscape. It lies 19.1 miles north of Glasgow, KY (from Glasgow, KY: bearing 3°T), and is situated 6.5 miles north of Horse Cave. The surrounding terrain is defined by the subtle, rhythmic rise and fall of the earth, leading toward the shadowed depressions of Tanyard Hollow. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally marks the eastern horizon, the immediate atmosphere is one of dense, inland tranquility, punctuated by the stillness of the air at dusk. During the summer heat, the light takes on a thick, honeyed quality, casting long shadows across the fields and reflecting off the slow, heavy currents of the water. Just eight miles away, the quiet surface of Creacy Lake offers a mirror to the sky, completing a geography defined by slow-moving water and the patient, weathered stone of the region.

Munfordville traces its character to a history of frontier settlement and trade, having long served as a vital crossing point where the river dictated the flow of commerce. The local economy remains tethered to the land, rooted in the industrious work of agriculture and the maintenance of a pace that favors deliberate action over haste. Within the municipal boundaries, Thelma Stovall Park provides a communal space for residents to gather, serving as a focal point for the daily life that moves through the streets. The architecture and the soft, measured vernacular of the people reflect a heritage built on the bedrock of the Upper South, where the memory of earlier decades lingers in the brickwork and the sturdy, unadorned facades of the storefronts. Even as time progresses, the identity of Munfordville remains anchored to this intersection of water, earth, and a long-standing commitment to the preservation of its own quiet, internal rhythm.

About This Munfordville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Munfordville, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.272275, -85.891082. 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 Munfordville includes the ZIP code (42765), telephone area code (270), county seat of Hart County (Munfordville), and school district assignment (Hart 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.
