How to Use This Ellettsville, Indiana Map

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

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.

Ellettsville maintains a steady presence within the limestone-rich topography of southern Indiana, where the landscape is defined by its inland distance from any coastal influence. It lies 7.1 miles northwest of Bloomington, IN (from Bloomington, IN: bearing 312°T), and is situated 8.2 miles east-southeast of Spencer. Jacks Defeat Creek winds through this terrain, carving a path that has long influenced the local drainage and settlement patterns. To the east, the silhouette of Louden Ridge rises against the horizon, providing a natural boundary that frames the daily passage of light. Residents often spend their leisure hours at Marci Jane Lewis Park, which serves as a central point for outdoor activity. Beyond the immediate municipal borders, the dense canopy of Morgan-Monroe State Forest offers a deeper connection to the regional woodland, while Henke Lake remains a quiet fixture for those seeking the stillness of open water.

Settlement in Ellettsville grew from the rugged demands of a landscape built upon vast, subterranean deposits of high-quality stone. This foundational industry shaped the local economy for generations, as the extraction and processing of limestone became the primary engine of regional enterprise. Skilled workers transformed raw blocks into the architectural elements that define the character of many nearby structures, grounding the economy in physical labor and craftsmanship. Over time, the commercial focus shifted, allowing for a broader range of trade and services that support the modern resident. The legacy of these early quarries remains visible in the enduring quality of local masonry, a testament to the durability of the materials drawn from the earth.

Cultural life in Ellettsville reflects a quiet, deliberate pace that prioritizes neighborly connection and the preservation of long-standing traditions. The atmosphere is marked by the distinct rhythm of a community that values its independence while remaining connected to the broader regional identity. Notable landmarks such as the historic buildings in the downtown corridor serve as anchors for public memory and local gatherings. Annual events often bring people together to celebrate the specific heritage of the region, fostering a sense of continuity across the generations. While many individuals have contributed to the character of the place, the spirit of Ellettsville is perhaps best expressed in the collective work of those who maintain its small-town integrity. Through the changing seasons, the residents continue to shape the future of this enduring landscape with a sense of purpose and local pride.

About This Ellettsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ellettsville, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.233935, -86.625001. 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 Ellettsville includes the ZIP code (47429), telephone area code (317), county seat of Monroe County (Bloomington), and school district assignment (Richland-Bean Blossom Community 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.
