How to Use This Commiskey, Indiana Map

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

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 Commiskey, Indiana

Commiskey is a locality in Jennings County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 139. The population density is 81.2 people per km². Commiskey is located at 38.8595°N, 85.6455°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47227.

Commiskey occupies a modest expanse of earth where the flat, fertile plains of the Midwest yield to the subtle, stubborn rise of the interior landscape. It lies 9.4 miles south-southeast of Jennings, IN (from Jennings, IN: bearing 167°T), and is situated 17.9 miles southwest of Jackson. The light here settles long and heavy over the fields at dusk, casting a bronze hue across the horizon that obscures the distant, jagged silhouette of Devils Backbone to the west. Immediately surrounding the grid, the Wells Woods Addition serves as a sanctuary of quiet growth, its dense canopy offering a cool respite from the heat of the summer sun. A mile to the north, the waters of Kimberly Lake hold the reflection of the sky in a stillness that rarely breaks, while Graham Creek carves a winding path through the soil, its current a persistent, rhythmic murmur that defines the local drainage.

Commiskey maintains a character forged by the iron will of agricultural labor and the seasonal pulse of the harvest. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil, with woodlots and wide-reaching farms providing the primary architecture for the lives of those who dwell here. History is not written in grand monuments but in the sturdy, utilitarian structures that stand against the wind, and in the trek of residents toward the timber of Selmier State Forest for quiet communion with the land. Life in Commiskey moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, where the quality of an hour is measured by the clarity of the air and the steady, reliable turn of the seasons across the open fields.

About This Commiskey Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Commiskey, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.8595, -85.645522. 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 Commiskey includes the ZIP code (47227), telephone area code (317), county seat of Jennings County (Vernon), and school district assignment (Jennings County 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.
