How to Use This Woodburn, Kentucky Map

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

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.

Woodburn sits upon a quiet expanse of limestone-rich earth where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by the jagged shadows of Sprouse Ridge, which remains a distant, hazy silhouette far to the east. It lies 8.8 miles north-northeast of Franklin, KY (from Franklin, KY: bearing 18°T), and is situated 11.2 miles south-southwest of Bowling Green. The terrain here favors the patient work of agriculture, defined by fields that catch the late afternoon light in shades of amber and pale green, while the soil holds the cool, damp memory of rain long after the clouds have vanished. Woodburn Community Park provides a modest, open green space where the pace of the day is measured only by the shifting angle of the sun against the grass. To the west, the land dips toward the quiet, steady flow of West Fork Drakes Creek, a waterway that marks the rhythm of the local landscape with its persistent, narrow passage through the silty banks.

History in Woodburn remains deeply tethered to the iron rails and the industrious legacy of the agrarian economy that first gave the place its purpose. Local life persists in the shadow of these older ties, with the regional character shaped by a legacy of family farms and a stubborn, quiet resilience that resists the hurried clamor of larger centers. While the distant, deeper depressions like Coldwater Hollow suggest the hidden, subterranean character of the karst topography, the surface of Woodburn is dominated by the steady, industrious work of those who cultivate the heavy, fertile ground. Residents move with a deliberate grace, acknowledging the weight of a heritage built on persistence, and the air here carries a stillness that feels both ancient and entirely present, as if the land itself were waiting for the next season to turn.

About This Woodburn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Woodburn, Kentucky. Coordinates: 36.842541, -86.527494. 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 Woodburn includes the ZIP code (42170), telephone area code (270), county seat of Warren County (Bowling Green), and school district assignment (Warren 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.
