How to Use This Sycamore, Kentucky Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Sycamore, 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 Sycamore.
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.

ZIP code: 40223.Sycamore spreads across a landscape of limestone-rich soil and gentle, sun-drenched rises that catch the late afternoon light in shades of pale gold. It lies 2.3 miles east-southeast of Lyndon, KY (from Lyndon, KY: bearing 107°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-southeast of Jeffersonville. Hardesty Park provides a quiet, green anchor for the local geography, where the air often carries the damp, earthy scent of the nearby Middle Fork Beargrass Creek. While the distant Appalachian Mountains remain a hazy blue suggestion on the far eastern horizon, the immediate terrain is defined by the steady, modest elevation of the regional plain. Evenings here bring a stillness that settles over the fields, turning the sky a deep, bruised violet and highlighting the sharp silhouettes of the trees that give Sycamore its name.
History in Sycamore remains tethered to the slow accumulation of agricultural tradition and the quiet persistence of its inhabitants. Long before the modern era solidified its borders, the economy relied upon the fertile ground to support a life rhythm governed by the seasons rather than the clock. The proximity to Willow Lake offers a reflective, glassy reprieve from the daily work of local commerce, where the surface of the water mirrors the shifting clouds and the changing colors of the canopy. Residents maintain a steady pace of life, respectful of the land that has sustained their families through generations, finding a distinct, unassuming grace in the way the quiet morning mist clings to the grasses before the heat of the day takes hold.

About This Sycamore Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sycamore, Kentucky. Coordinates: 38.247015, -85.560794. 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 Sycamore includes the ZIP code (40223), telephone area code (502), county seat of Jefferson County (Louisville), and school district assignment (Jefferson 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.
