How to Use This Perryville, Kentucky Map

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 occupies a landscape defined by the serpentine curves of the Chaplin River, which cuts a deep, limestone-lined path through the heart of the bluegrass region. It lies 9.8 miles west of Danville, KY (from Danville, KY: bearing 272°T), and is situated 9.7 miles southwest of Harrodsburg. The terrain surrounding Perryville consists of undulating pastures and jagged outcroppings of gray rock, where the light at dusk turns the tall grasses into a pale, flickering gold. Three miles to the east, the quiet depression of Beckey Hollow offers a sheltered contrast to the wider, open fields that define the immediate horizon, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains occasionally haunts the far eastern sky on the clearest of afternoons. Those seeking a closer body of water might venture five miles to find the stillness of Tank Pond, a modest mirror for the shifting clouds that dominate the wide, inland expanse of the Kentucky plateau.

Perryville carries the heavy, quiet weight of the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site, where the land itself seems to hold a memory of the intense struggle that once unfolded across its slopes. Agriculture remains the quiet pulse of the local economy, with the rhythm of the seasons dictating the pace of life among the limestone ridges and tobacco barns. The architecture of the storefronts reflects a deliberate, slow-moving preservation, favoring the sturdy brick and ironwork of an older era over the frantic pace of modern expansion. While the echoes of the nineteenth century remain tangible in the soil, the current life of Perryville is marked by the soft, deliberate vernacular of its residents and the enduring presence of the Chaplin River as it moves steadily toward the horizon.

About This Perryville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Perryville, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.650182, -84.950771. 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 Perryville includes the ZIP code (40468, 42765), telephone area code (270, 502), county seat of Boyle County (Danville), and school district assignment (Boyle 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.
