Fredericksburg is located at 38°25′57″N86°11′24″W / 38.43250°N 86.19000°W (38.432609, -86.190128). [10] It is located on the Blue River, just downriver from the confluence of its North and South Forks. The river was a valuable resource in the town's beginning as the construction of a water mill brought growth and prosperity to the town. As electricity nullified the need to be located near water, the river became a liability. The town, located on a floodplain, is prone to flooding. The frequent flooding pushed the town into decline, encouraging many residents and businesses to flee the town or move to higher land.
According to the 2010 census, Fredericksburg has a total area of 1.01 square miles (2.62 km2), of which 0.99 square miles (2.56 km2) (or 98.02%) is land and 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2) (or 1.98%) is water. [11]
