How to Use This Avoca, Indiana Map

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

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.

About Avoca, Indiana

Avoca is a locality in Lawrence County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 545. The population density is 100.4 people per km². Avoca is located at 38.9120°N, 86.5478°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47420.

Avoca anchors itself firmly within the limestone-rich topography of southern Indiana, where the earth yields to a pattern of woodlots and open fields. It lies 4.8 miles northwest of Bedford, IN (from Bedford, IN: bearing 317°T), and is situated 9.3 miles west-northwest of Crawford. Goose Creek carves a narrow, rhythmic path through the local terrain, its waters low and steady as they slip past the verdant basin of Diehl Hollow. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of Ramsey Ridge defines the horizon, grounding the landscape in a permanent, geological stillness. The air here holds the weight of inland humidity, cooling rapidly as dusk paints the limestone outcrops in shades of slate and bruised violet, a fleeting clarity that sharpens the edges of the surrounding timber.

Avoca carries the quiet weight of a history built upon the extraction and refinement of stone, a legacy etched into the very foundations of the local architecture. While the economy has shifted from the peak of the quarrying era, the remnants of that industry remain visible in the sturdy, weathered masonry that characterizes the older structures. Residents often find their way toward the recreational expanse of Murrsy Park for respite, or travel the short seven miles to the waters of Monroe Lake when the midsummer heat intensifies. Life in Avoca moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, defined by the seasonal cycles of the surrounding agricultural land and the enduring, silent presence of the bedrock beneath the soil.

About This Avoca Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Avoca, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.911994, -86.547773. 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 Avoca includes the ZIP code (47420), telephone area code (317), county seat of Lawrence County (Bedford), and school district assignment (North Lawrence Community Schools).

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.
