Kentuckians looking to hit the road this summer can find somewhere new to explore with the new state highway maps that debuted this month.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the new Team Kentucky 2026-2027 Highway Map showcases historic horse landscapes, diverse trails, and accessible attractions which the KYTC says show that no matter where you land in the commonwealth, adventure and entertainment awaits.

Created in collaboration between the KYTC and the Tourism, Arts, and Heritage Cabinet, the new maps offer traditional map features for Kentuckians looking for unplugged navigation while highlighting eclectic entertainment as well as ADA-acceccible attractions, themed trails, and festivals and events.

The map includes primary and secondary roads, parks and trails locations, Kentucky State Police posts, weigh stations, and more. The map highlights destinations unique to Kentucky such as natural stone arches, the Country Music Highway on U.S. 23, bourbon distilleries, and museums and attractions celebrating horse racing.

The new state highway maps can be found at Kentucky rest areas and welcome centers. You can download an electronic copy or request a printed copy at transportation.ky.gov.
