Explore Buffalo, 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 Buffalo, 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 Buffalo.
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.

Buffalo occupies a modest expanse of the Indiana landscape, where the persistent flow of Laughery Creek carves a quiet path through the terrain. It lies 11.6 miles south-southeast of Dearborn, IN (from Dearborn, IN: bearing 151°T), and is situated 8.6 miles west of Burlington. The land surrounding Buffalo rises toward the distant, softened silhouette of Salem Ridge, while the nearby Split Rock Stream Restoration Site offers a glimpse of the region's commitment to returning the earth to its natural, unhurried drainage. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the ground dips into the shadows of Thuermer Hollow, creating a mosaic of woodlots and open fields that catch the pale, amber light of late afternoon. Four miles away, the waters of Lake Jeanclia mirror the shifting clouds, grounding the horizon in a stillness that defines the inland character of the region.
History in Buffalo remains etched in the steady, cyclical labor of the land, where the local economy has long leaned upon the rhythms of agriculture and the maintenance of these fertile basins. Though the bustle of modern commerce feels distant, the influence of the soil persists, shaping the lives of those who look toward the horizon of Salem Ridge as a constant, unchanging companion. Residents often find their way toward the Split Rock Stream Restoration Site to observe the subtle shifts in the landscape, a testament to a place that prioritizes the quiet endurance of the earth over the rapid churn of industry. Life in Buffalo moves with the water of the creek, a deliberate and measured pace that recognizes the value of the quiet hours before the sun sinks behind the trees.

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.
