How to Use This Craigville, Indiana Map

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

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 Craigville, Indiana

Craigville is a locality in Wells County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 65. The population density is 92.1 people per km². Craigville is located at 40.7784°N, 85.0908°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 46731.

Craigville endures as a quiet convergence of flat, productive earth where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a heavy, expansive sky. It lies 5.0 miles east-northeast of Bluffton, IN (from Bluffton, IN: bearing 57°T), and is situated 9.2 miles west-southwest of Decatur. The landscape around Craigville is defined by the steady work of agriculture, a mosaic of dark soil and woodlots that shift in color from the vibrant, brittle greens of midsummer to the muted, dusty browns of harvest. Only a mile away, the narrow, unassuming channel of Gerber Ditch cuts through the fields, a vein of water that mirrors the drifting clouds, while the deeper stillness of Kunkel Lake waits four miles distant, offering a local anchor for the quiet reflection of the passing seasons. On clear evenings, the distant rise of Twin Hills barely registers as a faint, serrated shadow against the sunset, leaving the immediate terrain to its own level, honest pace.

History in this region is marked by the slow, persistent rhythm of rail lines and the small-scale commerce that once defined the Midwestern interior. While the economy remains deeply rooted in the productivity of the surrounding acreage, the presence of Ouabache State Park just three miles away provides a necessary retreat into the timbered, preserved pockets of the original forest. Life here is not hurried; it is measured by the changing light on the silos and the occasional rumble of a train that reminds residents of the connections binding these inland plains to the wider world. There is a particular, understated clarity to the air here, a crispness that settles over the fields after a hard rain, grounding the people of Craigville in a landscape that neither asks for nor offers anything but the truth of the seasons.

About This Craigville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Craigville, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.77838, -85.090803. 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 Craigville includes the ZIP code (46731), telephone area code (574), county seat of Wells County (Bluffton), and school district assignment (Northern Wells 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.
