How to Use This Fountaintown, Indiana Map

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

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 Fountaintown, Indiana

Fountaintown is a locality in Shelby County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 119. The population density is 60.1 people per km². Fountaintown is located at 39.6948°N, 85.7830°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 46130.

Fountaintown occupies a flat expanse of the Indiana interior, where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed across the heavy, dark soil of the Midwestern plains. It lies 6.3 miles south of Greenfield, IN (from Greenfield, IN: bearing 187°T), and is situated 9.6 miles south-southeast of Hancock. The landscape remains defined by the rhythmic intersection of cultivated fields and the persistent, quiet presence of Brandywine Creek, which marks the lowlands just a mile away. To the west, the preservation of Efroymson Woods offers a dense, tangled contrast to the open agricultural grid, providing a sanctuary where the light catches the underside of oak leaves in late autumn. Though the distant silhouette of Pea Ridge remains nothing more than a suggestion upon the far horizon, the immediate terrain feels grounded and deliberate, defined by the seasonal shifting of the sky and the steady, unadorned work of the earth.

Fountaintown serves as a quiet witness to the legacy of the nineteenth-century rail lines that once dictated the movement of grain and timber across the region. The local economy persists in a long-standing dialogue with the surrounding farmland, maintaining a pace that favors the slow turn of the harvest over the quick pulse of urban commerce. Residents often look toward the nearby Swain Memorial Forest or the waters of Spring Lake for respite, finding a familiar consistency in the quietude of these managed wild spaces. Life in Fountaintown retains a particular, modest texture, shaped by the weight of generations who built their lives upon this specific intersection of commerce and field, leaving behind a place that values the steady endurance of the land above all else.

About This Fountaintown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Fountaintown, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.694767, -85.783034. 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 Fountaintown includes the ZIP code (46130), telephone area code (260), county seat of Shelby County (Shelbyville), and school district assignment (Shelby Eastern 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.
