How to Use This Bennington, Indiana Map

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

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 Bennington, Indiana

Bennington is a locality in Switzerland County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 18.0 people per km². Bennington is located at 38.8589°N, 85.1405°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP codes: 47043, 47011.

Bennington emerges from the verdant, undulating landscape of the Indiana interior, defined by the steady, quiet passage of Indian Creek as it carves a path through the limestone-rich soil. It lies 4.2 miles west-northwest of Switzerland, IN (from Switzerland, IN: bearing 286°T), and is situated 15.4 miles east-northeast of Madison. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the terrain rises into the sturdy elevation of Chapel Ridge, which anchors the horizon to the west and provides a rugged backdrop to the surrounding woodlot mosaic. The atmosphere here carries the scent of damp earth and drying corn stalks, particularly as the low, amber light of dusk settles over the fields. Two miles away, the surface of Camp Livingston Lake remains a glassy, reflective surface, mirroring the changing seasons of the Midwest while offering a stillness that seems to permeate the surrounding acreage.

Bennington maintains a character tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the ancestral labor of the soil, reflecting a history of settlement that prioritized the fertility of the local basin. The proximity to Posky Hollow serves as a reminder of the deep, geological time that shaped this region, influencing how residents have cultivated the land and organized their livelihoods over the decades. While the modern world moves with a different velocity, the proximity to the Splinter Ridge Fish And Wildlife Area preserves a necessary wildness, ensuring that the local ecology remains a prominent feature of daily life. Those who inhabit Bennington often find a sense of equilibrium in the predictable, seasonal cycle of planting and harvest, a quiet persistence that has defined the locality long before the modern era smoothed its edges.

About This Bennington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bennington, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.858948, -85.140509. 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 Bennington includes the ZIP code (47043, 47011), telephone area code (317, 463), county seat of Switzerland County (Vevay), and school district assignment.

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.
