How to Use This Elizabeth, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Elizabeth, 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 Elizabeth.
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 Elizabeth, Indiana
Elizabeth is a locality in Harrison County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 199. The population density is 294.4 people per km². Elizabeth is located at 38.1212°N, 85.9741°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Kentucky/Louisville) timezone. Elizabeth is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 47117.Elizabeth occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, rhythmic cutting of the South Fork Buck Creek, which carves its way through a terrain of limestone and dense woodlot mosaic. It lies 12.3 miles south-southwest of Floyd, IN (from Floyd, IN: bearing 202°T), and is situated 9.9 miles west-southwest of Shively. The air here holds a heavy, earthen stillness, particularly when the low sun catches the limestone outcrops that break through the soil like the bleached ribs of some ancient, buried giant. To the west, the silhouette of Lamb Ridge anchors the horizon, while Farris Lake rests in a quiet hollow nearby, its surface often mirroring the flat, gray-blue light of an approaching Midwestern dusk. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the Harrison County Glades - Mayme Hinton Glade preserves a fragment of the wilder, scrubby character that once dominated these limestone highlands before the plow and the fence line rearranged the geometry of the earth.
Elizabeth persists as a place where the gravity of the past is felt in the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons and the quiet endurance of its sparse, scattered homes. The economy remains tethered to the land and the surrounding agricultural rhythms, a legacy that stretches back to the early settlers who recognized the utility of the creek’s path through the deep woods. While the distant, sprawling canopy of the Jefferson County Memorial Forest suggests a vast wilderness, the local life is concentrated in the small, functional pockets of activity that define the daily commute. Life moves with the unforced cadence of a place that has learned to ignore the frantic pace of the modern world, preferring the steady, predictable cycle of the harvest and the cooling shadows that lengthen across the fields as evening settles over Stewart Hollow.

About This Elizabeth Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elizabeth, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.121182, -85.974132. 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 Elizabeth includes the ZIP code (47117), telephone area code (317), county seat of Harrison County (Corydon), and school district assignment (South Harrison 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.
