Explore Woodlawn Park, Kentucky, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Woodlawn Park, 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 Woodlawn Park.
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.

Woodlawn Park emerges from the Kentucky landscape as a quiet grid of residential life, defined by the persistent, winding presence of the Muddy Fork that carves its path nearby. It lies 1.3 miles north-northeast of St. Matthews, KY (from St. Matthews, KY: bearing 16°T), and is situated 7.1 miles east of Louisville. The terrain here relies on the steady, limestone-rich soil typical of the region, where the air holds a heavy, humid sweetness during the long afternoons of midsummer. Lawns stretch between modest, well-tended homes, their green blades catching the slanted, honeyed light of dusk before it fades into the deep indigo of the inland evening. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Appalachian Mountains waits far beyond the horizon, the immediate environment remains grounded in the subtle, rhythmic pulse of suburban stillness, where the shadows of oak trees lengthen across the pavement with a slow, deliberate grace.
Woodlawn Park functions as a residential enclave, maintaining a pace of life that favors the domestic over the industrial, with the nearby St. Matthews Community Park providing a necessary green expanse for the neighborhood to breathe. The local economy is tied to the broader stability of its surroundings, influenced by the historical legacy of the Upper South and the distant, rushing energy of the Falls of the Ohio, which reminds the traveler of the river systems that once dictated the growth of the entire region. Unlike the wilder, denser growth of the Jefferson County Memorial Forest, this locality prefers the order of structured streets and managed gardens. Residents move through their days with a quiet awareness of these geographic anchors, acknowledging the proximity of the Muddy Fork as it continues its ancient, unhurried journey through the limestone bedrock.

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.
