Explore Economy, 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 Economy, 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 Economy.
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.

Economy occupies a quiet expanse of Wayne County where the land stretches out in a mosaic of woodlots and flat, productive fields. It lies 10.6 miles northwest of Wayne, IN (from Wayne, IN: bearing 306°T), and is situated 14.7 miles northwest of Richmond. Martindale Creek carves a shallow, deliberate path through the earth here, its waters moving with a steady, muted purpose that mirrors the temperament of the surrounding landscape. A mile away, the surface of Osborne Lakes holds the reflection of the wide, open sky, providing a still, clear counterpoint to the movement of the creek. To the west, the distant horizon hints at the silhouette of Devils Backbone, a reminder of the rugged terrain that exists far beyond these gentle, agricultural plains. The air in Economy tastes of turned soil and distant seasons, carrying a weight that suggests the deep, patient history of the Midwestern interior.
Economy maintains a rhythm defined by the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest, a legacy that has shaped its character since the early days of its founding. While the local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding farmland, the presence of the Modoc Wildlife Management Area just four miles away preserves a corridor of quiet wilderness that balances the human industry of the fields. The architecture of the area, marked by modest, sturdy structures, speaks to a way of life that values function and endurance over display. Life in Economy moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, where the light at dusk turns the stubble of the fields into a soft, golden haze, and the people carry on with the quiet consistency of a place that has long understood its own worth.

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.
