How to Use This Bellmont, Illinois Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bellmont, Illinois. 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 Illinois 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 Bellmont.
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.

It lies 22.1 miles northwest of Martin, IN (from Martin, IN: bearing 324°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west-southwest of Mount Carmel. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, interrupted only by the seasonal transition of golden corn and soybeans that define the regional rhythm. To the west, the subtle rise of the Foote Pond Hills breaks the monotony of the plains, providing a distant, hazy silhouette against the amber light of dusk. Water moves with a deliberate, slow-motion grace through the landscape, with Coffee Creek winding through the nearby fields and Conservation Lake offering a still, reflective mirror for the expansive Midwestern sky.
Bellmont persists as a place where the legacy of the nineteenth-century rail expansion still lingers in the orderly layout of its streets and the sturdy brickwork of its modest buildings. The local economy remains tethered to the soil, reflecting a heritage of agricultural industry that has supported families for generations. Residents find a sense of continuity in the proximity of the Wabash River - Mount Carmel, a PCON that preserves the natural character of the riverbank just a few miles away. Life in Bellmont moves with the steady, unpretentious pace of the harvest, characterized by a quiet loyalty to the land and the simple, enduring connections formed in a landscape that demands both hard work and patience.

About This Bellmont Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bellmont, Illinois. Coordinates: 38.384492, -87.91142. 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 Bellmont includes the ZIP code (62811), telephone area code (618), county seat of Wabash County (Mount Carmel), and school district assignment (Wabash Community Unit School District 348).
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.
