How to Use This Pittsfield, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pittsfield, 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 Pittsfield.

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.

Pittsfield emerges from the vast, undulating prairie of western Illinois as a quiet anchor of limestone and brick, defined by the slow rhythm of the agricultural seasons. It lies 31.9 miles west-southwest of Jacksonville, IL (from Jacksonville, IL: bearing 254°T), and is situated 17.1 miles northeast of Louisiana. Sunlight here catches the high, open sky, casting long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Tick Ridge. The landscape is carved by the persistence of Panther Creek, which carves a modest path through the earth only a mile away, mirroring the stillness of nearby Pine Lake. Local life centers on the open green spaces of Little League Park, where the air often carries the scent of turned soil and the muted, persistent hum of insects rising from the surrounding grasses.

History in Pittsfield is measured in the persistence of its central square and the legacy of figures who once walked these streets, including Abraham Lincoln during his years as a circuit-riding lawyer. The economy remains tethered to the deep, fertile earth, sustaining a legacy of farming and trade that dictates the pace of the calendar. Beyond the immediate grid, the land dips into the quiet shade of Napolean Hollow, reminding residents of the geological depth beneath the surface. Life in Pittsfield maintains a steady, deliberate motion, shaped by the cycles of the harvest and the enduring character of those who remain rooted in this Midwestern expanse.

About This Pittsfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pittsfield, Illinois. Coordinates: 39.607825, -90.805129. 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 Pittsfield includes the ZIP code (62363), telephone area code (217), county seat of Pike County (Pittsfield), and school district assignment (Pikeland Community Unit School District 10).

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.
