How to Use This Colfax, Indiana Map

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

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.

Colfax anchors itself firmly within the expansive, fertile plains of the American Midwest, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by the jagged shadows of distant elevations. It lies 10.1 miles southwest of Frankfort, IN (from Frankfort, IN: bearing 235°T), and is situated 18.8 miles southeast of Lafayette. The landscape surrounding Colfax is defined by a rhythmic mosaic of woodlots and vast, tilled fields that drink in the heavy, golden light of late afternoon. Withe Creek meanders through the quiet terrain just a mile away, its banks marked by the persistent growth of willows and dark, alluvial soil. On the clearest days, the faint, hazy suggestion of the Devils Backbone might be discerned far to the southwest, though the immediate world here favors the level, deliberate grace of the prairie.

Colfax emerged from the intersecting lines of steel rails, growing as a vital point of commerce where the harvest of the surrounding acreage met the reach of the machine. The local economy remains tethered to this legacy of the earth, where the cycle of planting and reaping dictates the quiet pace of the streets. Beyond the daily labor of the grain elevators, the nearby Oxidation Pond sits as a hushed, singular feature of the local topography, while those seeking the stillness of nature often journey toward Old School Park to find the shade of mature timber. Life in Colfax moves with a steady, unadorned purpose, reflecting the enduring character of a place that values the weight of its own history as much as the promise of the coming season.
