How to Use This Crawfordsville, Indiana Map

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

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.

Crawfordsville occupies a quiet expanse of the Midwestern interior where the land stretches out in a mosaic of fertile farmland and woodlots. It lies 19.9 miles west of Boone, IN (from Boone, IN: bearing 276°T), and is situated 25.9 miles south of Lafayette. The regional landscape remains defined by its inland position, far removed from any coastal influence and defined instead by the subtle shifts of the plains. Dry Branch flows just one mile away, marking the earth with a narrow ribbon of moisture that supports the local flora. To the distant horizon, the silhouette of the Devils Backbone provides a rugged contrast to the otherwise level topography of the surrounding fields. Residents often gather at Fishero Ball Park, which serves as a central point for community activity right within the local limits. During the quiet hours of dusk, the light catches the golden stalks of corn, casting long shadows across the open acreage that defines the perimeter of Crawfordsville.

The local industries expanded from these agrarian roots to include manufacturing and specialized production, creating a steady rhythm of daily labor.

Sportsmans Club Lake, located four miles from the center, offers a place for reflection away from the busy shifts of the local factories and workshops. The resilience of this economy is reflected in the well-maintained brick structures that house the modern storefronts and offices. This steady pursuit of industry maintains a stable environment for those who call the region home.

About This Crawfordsville Map Page

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.
