How to Use This Summersville, Kentucky Map

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

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.

About Summersville, Kentucky

Summersville is a locality in Green County, Kentucky, United States. It is a small community with a population of 551. The population density is 73.6 people per km². Summersville is located at 37.3262°N, 85.5444°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 42743, 42782.

Summersville emerges from the limestone-rich earth of the Kentucky interior, defined by the persistent, winding presence of Dixie Creek as it carves through the terrain. It lies 11.2 miles west of Campbellsville, KY (from Campbellsville, KY: bearing 264°T), and is situated 5.2 miles north-northwest of Greensburg. The landscape here is characterized by the low, sweeping contours of Caney Flat, where the topsoil yields to a bedrock that has dictated the slow, deliberate pace of local life for generations. Light at dusk takes on a heavy, amber quality, catching the limestone dust that rises from the unpaved lanes and settling it over the fields like a fine, geological silt. While the distant, hazy blue silhouettes of the Appalachian Mountains remain merely a suggestion on the far horizon, the immediate world is one of dense, deep-rooted woodland and expansive agricultural patches that seem to exhale the heat of the day long after the sun has retreated behind the trees.

Summersville maintains a quiet, agrarian autonomy, functioning as a waypoint for those who work the adjacent acreage or manage the small-scale timber and livestock operations that have long sustained the local economy. History here is felt in the architecture of the older barns and the layout of the roads, which follow the natural drainage patterns rather than the rigid geometry of newer developments. Residents often seek the shaded quiet of Glenview Heritage Land for respite, finding a stillness there that contrasts with the rhythmic, mechanical hum of the local machinery. Even when the pace of the day slows to a crawl, the influence of the land remains absolute, particularly near the quiet edges of Deer Pond, where the water holds the reflection of the sky with a mirror-like intensity that defines the character of the region.

About This Summersville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Summersville, Kentucky. Coordinates: 37.326171, -85.544411. 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 Summersville includes the ZIP code (42743, 42782), telephone area code (270), county seat of Green County (Greensburg), and school district assignment (Green 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.
