Explore Bourbon, Indiana, 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 Bourbon, 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 Bourbon.
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.

Bourbon rises from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana plains, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a vast, shifting sky. It lies 10.6 miles east-southeast of Plymouth, IN (from Plymouth, IN: bearing 108°T), and is situated 13.9 miles west of Kosciusko. The landscape is defined by a rhythmic mosaic of grain fields and woodlots, where the light at dusk turns the dusty soil into a deep, bruised violet. Two miles from the center, the quiet course of Erwin Ditch marks the land, a modest waterway that threads through the agricultural grid. Those seeking the stillness of deeper waters often look toward Mud Lake, six miles distant, or find a brief respite at the Old Tip Town Public Access Site five miles away. The air here holds the scent of turned earth and drying stalks, a heavy, honest presence that defines the changing seasons for anyone walking the perimeter of these fields.
Bourbon carries the weight of a long agricultural lineage, its early foundations built upon the labor of those who cleared the timber to make way for the plow. Today, the economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage, manifesting in the steady hum of machinery and the persistent, industrious pace of local commerce. Life in Bourbon follows the tempo of the seasons, dictated by the planting and the harvest, with the local school serving as a gravitational anchor for the social life of the residents. While the distant silhouette of Buzzard Hill sits nineteen miles away as a mere suggestion on the edge of vision, the true character of the place is found in the brick storefronts and the unwavering commitment to a way of life that values the tangible over the abstract.

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.
