How to Use This East Oolitic, Indiana Map

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

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 East Oolitic, Indiana

East Oolitic is a locality in Lawrence County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 22. The population density is 107.1 people per km².

East Oolitic emerges from the limestone-heavy earth of southern Indiana, defined by the quiet persistence of Salt Creek as it carves a slow, meandering path through the local topography. It lies 2.9 miles north-northwest of Bedford, IN (from Bedford, IN: bearing 333°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west-northwest of Crawford. The air here carries a distinct, mineral weight, a reminder of the bedrock that shapes the surrounding landscape where the ground rises toward the distant silhouette of Mall Hill. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the terrain shifts into a mosaic of woodlots and open fields that slope gently toward the shadowed depths of Diehl Hollow. As dusk settles, the light loses its sharp edge, turning the limestone outcrops a bruised, luminous gray that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped behind the tree line.

East Oolitic remains tethered to the industrious legacy of the stone quarries that once dictated the rhythm of labor and life in the region. While the demands of the global economy have reshaped the local workforce, the character of the place persists in the quiet maintenance of modest homes and the routine passage of residents toward Monroe Lake for recreation or toward the modest grounds of Murrsy Park for an afternoon of stillness. The history of the area is written in the hard, sedimentary layers beneath the topsoil, a geological inheritance that informs the slow, deliberate pace of the neighborhood. Life here moves with the understated gravity of the regional landscape, where the connection to the land is not a sentiment, but a quiet, daily recognition of the earth itself.

About This East Oolitic Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of East Oolitic, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.898939, -86.511938. 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 East Oolitic includes the ZIP code (47421), telephone area code (317), county seat of Lawrence County (Bedford), and school district assignment (North Lawrence 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.
