Explore Danville, Indiana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Danville, 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 Danville.
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.

Danville anchors a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of agricultural plains and the steady, rhythmic pulse of the Midwestern interior. It lies 7.7 miles south-southeast of Clay, IN (from Clay, IN: bearing 159°T), and is situated 18.0 miles south of Brazil. White Oak Creek carves a thin, silver vein through the earth just a mile from the center, its waters feeding the surrounding fields where the soil remains deep and dark. To the west, the subtle rise of Stokey Ridge marks the distant horizon, a blurred charcoal line against the pale, vaulted sky. Three miles away, the surface of Tapawingo Lake reflects the shifting clouds, while the nearby depression of Happy Hollow holds the morning mist like a shallow basin. The air here carries the scent of turned earth and drying cornstalks, a dry clarity that sharpens the edges of the barns and silos punctuating the flat, expansive horizon.
Danville holds a character forged in the legacy of early nineteenth-century settlement, where the courthouse square serves as the gravitational center for a local economy rooted in trade and community service. The architecture reflects a deliberate, sturdy aesthetic, with brick facades that have weathered decades of seasonal change and the slow migration of modern commerce. Residents often travel toward the Shakamak Prairie Nature Preserve to witness the native grasses that once dominated this expanse, a contrast to the manicured lawns and grid-patterned streets of the municipality. Life in Danville proceeds with a measured cadence, where the evening light lingers on the storefronts and the shadows lengthen across the pavement, signaling the transition from the industrious labor of the day to the quietude of the darkening plains.

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.
