How to Use This Freetown, Indiana Map

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

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 Freetown, Indiana

Freetown is a locality in Jackson County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 369. The population density is 205.6 people per km². Freetown is located at 38.9731°N, 86.1294°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47235.

Freetown occupies a quiet intersection of geography where the land dips into the low, shadowed embrace of Hound Hollow. It lies 12.9 miles west of Seymour, IN (from Seymour, IN: bearing 274°T), and is situated 8.0 miles northwest of Brownstown. Kiper Creek carves a narrow, deliberate path through the landscape, its waters pulling away from the higher ground toward a basin that holds the moisture of the seasons. To the east, the terrain rises toward the distant, rugged silhouette of Hominy Mortar, while the immediate surroundings offer a mosaic of woodlots and cleared fields that shift from deep emerald in the summer to a muted, brittle gold as the light grows thin. Just a mile away, the canopy of the Hoosier National Forest begins, providing a dense, cooling buffer of timber that defines the edge of the horizon.

Freetown remains defined by the slow, steady pulse of an economy built upon the soil and the timber that grows in the surrounding tracts. The history of the place is written in the persistence of its small-scale agriculture and the quiet endurance of those who work the land, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs. Life here follows the arc of the sun, marked by the long shadows cast across the fields and the occasional stillness that descends when the wind dies down in the hollows. Travelers seeking a different sort of quiet might find their way toward Fox Pond, a small, reflective body of water five miles distant, or lose themselves in the vast, managed woodlands that stretch toward the Jackson-Washington State Forest. It is a place where the passage of time is measured not in grand events, but in the subtle weathering of barn wood and the seasonal return of the hawks circling above the valley floor.

About This Freetown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Freetown, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.973107, -86.129428. 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 Freetown includes the ZIP code (47235), telephone area code (317), county seat of Jackson County (Brownstown), and school district assignment (Brownstown Central 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.
