How to Use This Burney, Indiana Map

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

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 Burney, Indiana

Burney is a locality in Decatur County, Indiana, United States. The population density is 149.6 people per km². Burney is located at 39.3173°N, 85.6403°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47240.

Burney occupies a quiet intersection of the Indiana landscape, where the horizon is defined by the steady, unadorned geometry of wide-reaching fields and woodlot mosaics. It lies 8.5 miles west of Greensburg, IN (from Greensburg, IN: bearing 261°T), and is situated 7.1 miles east of Hope. Sunlight here tends to pool in the low-lying hollows, casting a long, amber clarity across the soil that seems to slow the very air itself. Clifty Creek moves with a deliberate, muddy patience only a mile away, threading through the limestone-heavy earth that anchors the region’s foundation. Beyond the immediate reach of the silos and gravel lanes, the land swells into gentle, irregular rises that suggest a deeper, ancient topography beneath the cultivated surface. It is a place where the sky feels vast and proximate, a heavy, shifting dome of gray and blue that dictates the daily rhythm of the fields.

Burney maintains a character forged in the legacy of agricultural industry and the slow, persistent work of the seasons. The local economy remains tethered to the health of the surrounding acreage, where the cycle of planting and harvest has long provided a steady, if modest, pulse to the community. While the pace of life remains largely defined by the demands of the land, residents often look toward Anderson Falls Nature Preserve just six miles away for a change of scenery, finding a stark, geological relief in its waters. There is a perceptible dignity in the permanence of the architecture here, where the brick structures and weathered barns stand as functional markers of a history built on endurance. Burney exists not as a destination for the hurried traveler, but as a grounded, self-contained point on the map where the day-to-day work still holds an honest, quiet weight.

About This Burney Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Burney, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.317273, -85.640255. 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 Burney includes the ZIP code (47240), telephone area code (317), county seat of Decatur County (Greensburg), and school district assignment (Decatur County 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.
