Explore Rolling Fields, 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 Rolling Fields, 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 Rolling Fields.
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.

Rolling Fields occupies a quiet expanse of Kentucky where the earth hums with the subterranean presence of limestone and the persistent, quiet growth of bluegrass. It lies 2.6 miles northwest of St. Matthews, KY (from St. Matthews, KY: bearing 311°T), and is situated 4.9 miles east of Louisville. The landscape holds a deliberate, measured pace, defined by the soft contours of the land and the proximity of Crescent Hill, which serves as a green anchor for the local horizon. Only a mile away, the Muddy Fork carves a slow, deliberate path through the soil, its waters reflecting the pale, shifting light of an afternoon sun that seems to linger longer here than elsewhere. Beyond the immediate fields, the distant, hazy suggestion of the Appalachian Mountains marks the eastern limit of the world, while the Falls of the Ohio remain a reminder of the power inherent in the region’s waterways. The air here carries a particular weight, a mixture of damp earth and the cooling breath of Lakeside Pool, which sits just three miles out, offering a stillness that defines the texture of the afternoons.
Rolling Fields maintains a character shaped by the steady, industrious pulse of the Upper South, where the legacy of regional trade and agricultural roots informs the present day. While the economy remains anchored in the quiet rhythms of local commerce and the maintenance of its residential grace, the influence of the nearby Jefferson County Memorial Forest provides a natural buffer against the encroaching speed of the modern world. Life in Rolling Fields moves in accordance with the seasonal shifts of the Kentucky climate, where the transition from the humid heat of summer to the crisp, golden clarity of autumn dictates the cadence of the neighborhood. The proximity to Carters Hole adds a sense of depth to the geography, anchoring the locality in a basin that has long supported the quiet, sustained persistence of its residents. It is a place that favors the deliberate over the hurried, where the simple act of maintaining a home and tending to the land reflects a deeper commitment to the permanence of the region.

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.
