How to Use This Cordry Sweetwater Lakes, Indiana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cordry Sweetwater Lakes, 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 Cordry Sweetwater Lakes.

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 Cordry Sweetwater Lakes, Indiana

Cordry Sweetwater Lakes is a locality in Brown County, Indiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,274. The population density is 184.5 people per km². Cordry Sweetwater Lakes is located at 39.3046°N, 86.1184°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 46164.

Cordry Sweetwater Lakes occupies a fractured, verdant basin where the landscape resolves into a sequence of deep, leaf-damp hollows and steep, timbered inclines. It lies 9.5 miles north-northeast of Brown, IN (from Brown, IN: bearing 19°T), and is situated 8.8 miles west-southwest of Edinburgh. Saddle Creek carves a persistent path through the lower terrain, its quiet current pulling runoff toward the basin floor while the distant, jagged silhouette of Panther Lick Ridge defines the western horizon. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the ground rises in stubborn, limestone-laced swells, providing a rugged perimeter that buffers the quietude of Whipporwill Woods Nature Preserve. In the humid light of late afternoon, the air thickens with the scent of damp earth and decaying oak, a heavy, motionless quality that seems to hold the very shadows of the trees against the cooling ground.

Cordry Sweetwater Lakes emerged from a mid-century vision of recreational seclusion, transforming a landscape of modest woodlots into a deliberate retreat that remains distinct from the broader agricultural patterns of the surrounding territory. The local economy persists as a quiet reflection of this founding purpose, moving at a pace dictated by the seasonal influx of property owners and the maintenance of the reservoir’s edges. Life here unfolds with a deliberate, insular consistency, far removed from the limestone quarries and industrial centers that characterize the southern Indiana plateau. A short distance away, the quiet sprawl of Rhude Hollow serves as a reminder of the land’s original, untamed topography, while the proximity of the expansive Yellowwood State Forest ensures that the surrounding canopy remains dense and largely uninterrupted by the march of modern development.

About This Cordry Sweetwater Lakes Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cordry Sweetwater Lakes, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.30464, -86.11837. 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 Cordry Sweetwater Lakes includes the ZIP code (46164), telephone area code (260), county seat of Brown County (Nashville), and school district assignment (Brown County County School Corporation).

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.
