How to Use This Ravenna, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Ravenna holds the quiet, industrious spirit of a place shaped by the persistent flow of the Chamberlain Branch as it carves a path through the limestone-rich earth. It lies 19.2 miles east-southeast of Richmond, KY (from Richmond, KY: bearing 103°T), and is situated 1.6 miles southeast of Irvine. The landscape around Ravenna is defined by the subtle tension between the low-lying basin of Sugar Hollow and the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains that anchor the horizon. Sunlight here has a way of lingering on the damp soil and the dense, green foliage, casting long, amber shadows that turn the local fields into a study of deep ochre and slate. While the air carries the heavy, humid stillness of the interior, the presence of the water provides a constant, rhythmic pulse to the land, grounding the geography in a reality of winding creeks and rising, shadowed inclines.

Railroad iron and the memory of coal-camp labor define the history of Ravenna, a legacy that remains visible in the industrial remnants that once fueled the regional economy. Today, the pace of life centers around the small, localized gatherings at Ravenna Choo-Choo Park, where the history of the locomotive serves as a quiet reminder of the town’s former role as a vital junction. Residents look toward the horizon where the Berea College Forest stands as a dark, wooded sentinel, or perhaps toward the stillness of Furnace Lake for a moment of respite from the day’s work. The character of Ravenna is one of persistence, where the vernacular of the Upper South blends with the steady, unpretentious rhythm of people who recognize the value of the land they inhabit.

About This Ravenna Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ravenna, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.684527, -83.952979. 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 Ravenna includes the ZIP code (40472), telephone area code (502), county seat of Estill County (Irvine), and school district assignment (Estill 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.
