Explore Perryville, 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 Perryville, 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 Perryville.
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.

Perryville anchors itself upon a landscape of limestone foundations and undulating fields that stretch toward the horizon, far removed from the jagged peaks of the Appalachian Mountains. It lies 20.0 miles north of Glasgow, KY (from Glasgow, KY: bearing 2°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north of Horse Cave. The light here settles heavy and golden over the meadows, casting long, deliberate shadows that cling to the earth long after the sun begins its descent. Nearby, the Green River winds its path through the terrain, carving a quiet corridor through the soil, while the low, shaded depression of Tanyard Hollow offers a cool respite from the heat of the afternoon. Residents often find their way to Thelma Stovall Park to observe the slow turn of the seasons, watching as the flora shifts from the vibrant greens of spring to the brittle, muted hues of autumn. Even the distant, hazy outline of the Appalachian Mountains serves only to remind the traveler of the vast, landlocked expanse that defines the quiet gravity of the region.
Perryville carries the weight of a singular, defining conflict that once reshaped the trajectory of the nation, leaving the land marked by a gravity that transcends the simple passage of years. The local economy persists in the rhythm of the soil, drawing sustenance from the limestone-enriched pastures that support long-standing agricultural traditions and the steady work of the countryside. Beyond the reach of Creacy Lake, the daily life of the populace unfolds with a deliberate, unhurried precision, favoring the permanence of stone foundations and the endurance of local heritage over the frantic pace of modern centers. Visitors walking the quiet lanes might feel the persistence of memory in the architecture, a subtle reminder that the character of the place was forged in the crucible of its own history. Every afternoon, the air cools with the approach of dusk, settling over the limestone with a stillness that suggests a profound, quiet respect for the ground beneath.

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.
