Explore Daviess, 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 Daviess, 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 Daviess.
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.

Daviess maintains a quiet posture upon the vast, fertile expanse of the Midwestern interior. It lies 3.4 miles north-northeast of Washington, IN (from Washington, IN: bearing 29°T), and is situated 10.2 miles east-southeast of Bicknell. Prairie Creek traces a slender, winding path through the soil just a mile from the center of Daviess, its waters feeding the lush vegetation that defines the local horizon. To the east, the Beech Hills rise as a distant, hazy silhouette against the amber light of a setting sun. The proximity of Thousand Acre Woods provides a dense, verdant sanctuary for local wildlife, while the calm waters of Swan Pond offer a stillness that contrasts with the surrounding active farmland. Here, the landscape is defined by a mosaic of woodlots and open fields that catch the shifting colors of the changing seasons.
Daviess emerged from a legacy of hardworking settlers who sought prosperity in the rich, dark earth of the region. The local economy remains deeply rooted in this agricultural tradition, with modern industry and commerce diversifying the foundations laid by earlier generations. Mills Prairie provides a broad, fertile basin that has long supported the grain and produce that sustain the livelihood of the residents. While the pace of the workday is set by the rhythms of the seasons and the demands of the harvest, there is a persistent, industrious spirit that keeps the local economy moving forward. Every brick courthouse and weathered barn serves as a silent witness to the generations who have worked to build this stable, inland life.
Cultural character in Daviess is expressed through a shared appreciation for the simple, deliberate pace of life found in small-town existence. The community gathers for local events that celebrate the harvest, reinforcing a sense of connection that spans across the surrounding fields. Basketball courts serve as central hubs for social life, where the competitive spirit of the region finds its most energetic expression. Notable figures such as the renowned author Edward Eggleston, who captured the authentic voice of Hoosier life, reflect the literary and historical depth of this part of Indiana. Residents take a quiet pride in the traditions that bind them, ensuring that the legacy of their forebears remains an active part of daily conversation and civic identity.

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.
