How to Use This Amboy, Indiana Map

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

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.

Amboy emerges from the flat, industrious plains of Indiana where the low, melodic pulse of Honey Creek defines the western edge of the local geography. It lies 12.8 miles southeast of Peru, IN (from Peru, IN: bearing 145°T), and is situated 8.7 miles north-northeast of Greentown. The horizon remains broad and unbroken, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of The Hogback rising nine miles away, providing a stoic backdrop to the expansive fields that stretch toward Fox Lake. During the gold-hued hours of late afternoon, the light catches the moisture rising from the earth, casting long, lean shadows across the woodlots and the quiet grid of the streets. The air here holds the scent of turned soil and distant timber, a grounded atmosphere that feels untouched by the frantic pace of the modern world.

Railroads once served as the iron arteries for Amboy, fueling the growth of an economy rooted in the movement of grain and the labor of the surrounding agricultural mosaic. Though the clatter of the heavy trains has long since faded, the spirit of the settlement remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest and the steady maintenance of the land. Residents find their recreation in the quiet expanses of the Mississinewa Recreation Area, while the nearby Frances Slocum State Forest offers a deeper connection to the dense, native hardwood stands that once blanketed this region. Life in Amboy proceeds with a deliberate, quiet focus, where the legacy of its founding persists in the solid, unadorned architecture and the enduring patience of those who work the dark, fertile soil.

About This Amboy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Amboy, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.601429, -85.928876. 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 Amboy includes the ZIP code (46911), telephone area code (574), county seat of Miami County (Peru), and school district assignment (Oak Hill United School Corporation).

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.
