Explore Jeffersonville, Illinois, 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 Jeffersonville, 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 Jeffersonville.
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.

Jeffersonville occupies a quiet expanse of the Illinois interior where the horizon stretches flat and wide, defined by the seasonal shift of corn and soybean stalks. It lies 28.4 miles east-northeast of Mount Vernon, IL (from Mount Vernon, IL: bearing 72°T), and is situated 5.0 miles north-northwest of Fairfield. Martin Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil just a mile away, its banks thick with brush and the steady, low hum of insects during the humid afternoons. To the east, the silhouette of Pig Ridge rises against the sky, a distant undulation that anchors the view while the wind carries the scent of turned earth across the fields. Four miles out, the quiet waters of Shady Lake hold the reflection of the sky, offering a stillness that persists even when the heat shimmer rises from the asphalt. The quality of light here at dusk is remarkably heavy, turning the air a bruised violet that settles over the low-lying plains and softens the edges of every fence line and silo.
Jeffersonville grew from the steady labor of those who broke the prairie sod, and the local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of the harvest and the small-scale commerce that serves the surrounding farms. The Sam And Florence Atkinson Forest provides a necessary reach of timber and shadow, preserving a fragment of the landscape as it existed long before the grid of roads was imposed upon the land. Residents move with a deliberate, measured pace, finding a shared identity in the brick storefronts that have weathered decades of Midwestern winters. There is a distinct, unadorned integrity to the way the days unfold, marked by the mechanical clatter of machinery in the distance and the enduring presence of the church steeples that punctuate the skyline. Jeffersonville maintains a character shaped by patience, where the value of a person is measured by their constancy and their willingness to remain through the long, quiet months of the year.

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.
