How to Use This Olive Hill, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Olive Hill emerges from the limestone-heavy terrain of eastern Kentucky, where the deliberate, winding path of Tygarts Creek carves a corridor through the landscape. It lies 31.5 miles west-southwest of Ashland, KY (from Ashland, KY: bearing 247°T), and is situated 16.2 miles east-northeast of Morehead. The earth here holds a stubborn, mineral-rich density, marked by the deep, verdant shadows of Cooper Hollow that pull the morning mists into its basin. Beyond the immediate tree line, the land rises into a series of crests that suggest the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains on the horizon. The air carries a cool, dampened weight, particularly near the quiet reach of Olive Hill Reservoir, where the water mirrors the shifting gray and amber hues of a Kentucky sky.

Industry once defined the rhythm of Olive Hill, as the extraction of fire clay and the operation of brick plants provided a steady, soot-stained heartbeat to the local economy. Today, the pace has settled into a meditative stillness, with residents finding leisure in the green expanse of Olive Hill City Park or venturing toward the shaded seclusion of Tygarts State Forest. Memories of the industrial era persist in the architecture of the older streets, standing as silent witnesses to a time of heavy labor and transformation. Those who seek more rugged terrain often look toward the distant Lick Falls or traverse the paths of the Dry Branch Conneoter Trail, finding in the isolation of the woods a connection to the fundamental character of the region.
