Explore Celestine, 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 Celestine, 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 Celestine.
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.

Celestine persists as a quiet intersection of limestone-rich earth and dense woodlots where the horizon is defined by the modest, weathered rise of the Harbison Hills. It lies 8.2 miles east of Jasper, IN (from Jasper, IN: bearing 93°T), and is situated 11.2 miles east-northeast of Huntingburg. Teder Creek meanders through the low ground nearby, its current thin and unassuming as it cuts through the clay soil that has long anchored the local agrarian life. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, casting long shadows across the fields that stretch toward the water of Patoka Lake, which waits just a few miles beyond the farmhouse silos. The air holds the distinct, sharp scent of damp earth and cooling timber, suggesting a landscape that has been worked and re-worked by generations who understand the temperament of the seasons.
Celestine functions as a deliberate, slow-moving center of agricultural tradition, where the work of the day is dictated by the maintenance of machinery and the careful management of the surrounding mosaic of crops. The legacy of the early settlers remains etched into the layout of the roads and the brick foundations of older structures, providing a sturdy, unpretentious backdrop for a life lived in accordance with the turning of the sun. Visitors occasionally pass through on their way to the recreational expanse of Patoka Lake, yet Celestine retains a stubborn, inward-looking character that prefers the hum of a combine harvester to the intrusion of outside noise. Every season brings a subtle shift in the color of the fields, turning from the pale, dusty green of early spring to the deep, scorched gold of harvest, marking the passage of time with an honest, repetitive grace.

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.
