How to Use This French Lick, Indiana Map

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

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 French Lick, Indiana

French Lick is a locality in Orange County, Indiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,722. The population density is 364.7 people per km².

French Lick emerges from the limestone-heavy earth of southern Indiana, where the narrow, winding ribbon of French Lick Creek cuts a path through the landscape. It lies 20.0 miles east-northeast of Jasper, IN (from Jasper, IN: bearing 57°T), and is situated 8.2 miles west of Paoli. The terrain here is defined by the sharp, verdant rise of Moores Ridge to the east and the sudden, shadowed depth of Dry Hollow, creating a topography that feels both enclosed and intimate. Sunlight at dusk catches the mineral-rich dust in the air, casting a heavy, golden glow over the surrounding woodlot mosaic that stretches toward the borders of the Hoosier National Forest. Five miles away, the quiet surface of Tucker Lake remains undisturbed by the modern world, reflecting the dense canopy of trees that defines this inland geography far removed from any coastline.

French Lick carries the weight of a century’s ambition in its architecture, having grown from a remote frontier outpost into a destination defined by its once-famed mineral springs. The economy, long anchored by the grand, sprawling hotels that drew travelers seeking the curative properties of the earth, now pivots toward a blend of heritage tourism and recreation. The proximity to the Hoosier National Forest provides a vast, wild backdrop for a locality that has seen the rise and fall of industrial fortunes, yet maintains a steady, deliberate pace. Whether through the legacy of notable figures who walked these halls or the persistent rhythm of daily life in a region defined by its reliance on the land, French Lick remains a place where the past lingers in the masonry and the quiet, persistent movement of the water.

About This French Lick Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of French Lick, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.548943, -86.619991. 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 French Lick includes the ZIP code (47432), telephone area code (317), county seat of Orange County (Paoli), and school district assignment (Springs Valley 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.
