How to Use This Elizabethtown, Indiana Map

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

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.

Elizabethtown emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana plains where the earth holds the deep, dark promise of the cornfield and the long shadow of the woodlot. It lies 6.4 miles southeast of Bartholomew, IN (from Bartholomew, IN: bearing 140°T), and is situated 7.4 miles southeast of Columbus. Cooks Creek carves a quiet, meandering path through the landscape, its waters reflecting the heavy, humid light of late summer afternoons as it slips past the edge of the settlement. To the west, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of Pleasant Ridge, a reminder of the rugged limestone country that defines the southern reaches of the state. Beyond the immediate fields, the woods of Selmier State Forest offer a dense, green sanctuary, while the nearby Azalia Bridge (Flatrock R.) Public Access Site provides a modest gateway to the local watercourses for those who favor the solitude of the riverbank.

Elizabethtown carries the quiet weight of a place built by hand and sustained by the steady turning of the agricultural cycle. The economy remains rooted in the soil, with silos standing as silent sentinels over the daily commerce of grain and the slow, rhythmic labor of rural life. While the quietude of the surroundings might suggest a stillness, the area maintains a sturdy connection to its regional heritage, where the local pace is dictated by the season rather than the clock. Even the proximity of Thompsons Lake, lying just a few miles away, offers a brief, shimmering interruption to the otherwise unbroken mosaic of farmland that defines the local character. Life in Elizabethtown persists with a deliberate, unassuming grace, grounded by the steady persistence of the people who work the land and the endurance of the landscape itself.

About This Elizabethtown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elizabethtown, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.135052, -85.813315. 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 Elizabethtown includes the ZIP code (47232), telephone area code (317), county seat of Bartholomew County (Columbus), and school district assignment (Bartholomew County School Corporation).

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.
