How to Use This Taylorsville, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Taylorsville sits along the banks of the Salt River, where the water moves with a heavy, deliberate grace through the limestone-rich earth of Kentucky. It lies 11.1 miles east of Mount Washington, KY (from Mount Washington, KY: bearing 96°T), and is situated 5.0 miles south-southeast of Elk Creek. The landscape unfolds in a series of green, swelling rises that define the character of the land, far removed from the distant, jagged shadows of the Appalachian Mountains. Light at dusk here possesses a particular quality, turning the fields into a bruised violet before the evening settles into a deep, quiet gray. Just a short distance away, the expansive surface of Taylorsville Lake mirrors the shifting clouds, while the nearby Spencer County Community Park Project offers a quiet reprieve of meadows and wooded edges. Even the air feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and the slow, persistent growth of the season, grounding the observer in a terrain that seems to hold its breath between the turning of the sun and the arrival of the stars.

History in Taylorsville is written in the architecture of its modest centers and the preservation of long-standing agricultural traditions that continue to shape the local economy. The rhythms of daily life are dictated by the land, with the surrounding countryside serving as a quiet witness to the generations that have worked the soil or navigated the path toward Feather Bed Hollow. While the influence of the regional distillery heritage lingers in the local vernacular and the slow pace of the afternoon, there is a modern persistence to the way the people maintain their connections to the river and the surrounding fields. It is a place that finds its identity in the steady, unadorned labor of its residents, far from the noise of larger corridors, maintaining a character that is as solid and enduring as the limestone foundations beneath the roadbeds.
