Explore Pleasant Ridge, 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 Pleasant Ridge, 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 Pleasant Ridge.
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.

Pleasant Ridge emerges from the landscape as a quiet stretch of Kentucky where the horizon is defined by the modest, persistent rise of Hoover Hill and the deep, silent shadows of Tucker Hollow. It lies 14.0 miles south-southeast of Owensboro, KY (from Owensboro, KY: bearing 150°T), and is situated 5.9 miles south-southeast of Masonville. Sunlight here catches the limestone dust on the roads, turning the late afternoon air into a pale, translucent gold that hangs over the fields. The land is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of North Fork Barnett Creek, which carves a narrow, winding path through the soil, offering a constant, low murmur against the stillness of the woods. Further out, the landscape holds the memory of a slower pace, where the earth feels heavy and ancient under the weight of the summer heat.
Pleasant Ridge carries the quiet inheritance of agricultural roots, where the economy remains tied to the cycles of the soil and the endurance of the local farmer. Families here have long worked the land, finding a rhythm in the turning seasons that predates the modern scramble of the nearby world. While the daily life of Pleasant Ridge is marked by the hum of machinery and the persistent growth of crops, residents often look toward the broader horizon, perhaps venturing toward Utica Park to walk the trails or finding a moment of reflection near the distant waters of Taylor Lake. The character of the place is built not on grand monuments, but on the stubborn persistence of its people, who treat the land with a familiarity that suggests they belong to it as much as it belongs to them.

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.
