How to Use This Windy Hills, Kentucky Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Windy Hills, 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 Windy Hills.
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: 40207.Windy Hills emerges from the limestone-heavy soil of Kentucky as a quiet expanse of residential lanes and mature hardwoods. It lies 2.1 miles north of St. Matthews, KY (from St. Matthews, KY: bearing 2°T), and is situated 6.9 miles east-northeast of Louisville. The topography here avoids the jagged drama of the distant Appalachian Mountains, favoring instead a sequence of subtle swells that catch the late afternoon light, turning the grass into a bruised, golden velvet. Residents often walk the short distance to the borders of Warwick Park, where the local canopy hums with the activity of songbirds, or find solace near the slow, deliberate current of Muddy Fork as it navigates the terrain. The air, particularly after a spring rain, carries the mineral scent of the underlying bedrock, a grounding presence that persists even as the shadows lengthen across the lawns.
Economic life in Windy Hills remains tethered to the broader regional stability of the Ohio River valley, reflecting the steady, industrious pulse of a population that values both privacy and proximity to the urban core. While the Falls of the Ohio lies only six miles away, drawing those who wish to witness the raw, geological history of the riverbed, the daily rhythm here is marked by the quiet movement of commuters and the upkeep of suburban gardens. History is not written in grand monuments but in the preservation of the landscape, where the influence of nearby agricultural legacies—the thoroughbred heritage and the distillery culture—colors the local character with a soft, pragmatic hospitality. Even as the seasons turn and the foliage thins, the residents of Windy Hills maintain an observant connection to their surroundings, finding a consistent, unremarkable beauty in the unchanging geometry of their home.

About This Windy Hills Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Windy Hills, Kentucky. Coordinates: 38.273959, -85.634406. 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 Windy Hills includes the ZIP code (40207), 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.
