The highway leads north 27 miles (43 km) to Louisville. US 31W leads south 18 miles (29 km) to Elizabethtown, while US 60 turns west just south of the Muldraugh city limits and leads 34 miles (55 km) to Hardinsburg. Brandenburg Station Road, the north entrance to Fort Knox, has an interchange with US 31W and 60 at the south end of Muldraugh.

Muldraugh is located just south of Muldraugh Hill at 37°56′13″N 85°59′29″W / 37.93694°N 85.99139°W / 37.93694; -85.99139 (37.936975, -85.991414).
