Explore Gas City, Indiana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gas City, 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 Gas City.
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.

Gas City stretches across the flat, fertile plains of the Midwest, where the horizon serves as a vast, open stage for the shifting Indiana sky. It lies 3.9 miles east-northeast of Grant, IN (from Grant, IN: bearing 75°T), and is situated 6.3 miles west of Upland. The local terrain remains defined by a mosaic of woodlots and expansive farmland, providing a quiet backdrop to the daily commerce of the region. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Bean Run trace a path through the landscape, offering a subtle contrast to the prevailing earth tones of the fields. To the west, the silhouettes of The Hogback rise faintly against the evening light, reminding observers of the broader geological frame beyond these plains. Residents often gather at Mississinewa Community Park, a primary green space that anchors the outdoor life of the neighborhood. The atmosphere here carries the scent of turned soil and dry stalks, marking the seasonal rhythm of a land that values its own steady, unremarkable grace.
Gas City emerged from the fervor of the late nineteenth-century natural gas boom, an era that fundamentally altered the economic identity of the region. The sudden availability of energy drew industry to the ground, transforming a quiet agricultural settlement into a hub for glass manufacturing and related production. Over the decades, the local economy shifted alongside the changing demands of national markets, moving away from the intensity of the early extraction days. Today, the industrial character of the region reflects a transition toward diversified manufacturing and small-scale enterprise, keeping the local workforce tethered to its legacy of labor. Small businesses and service sectors now occupy the spaces where once-vibrant kilns defined the skyline. This history of industry leaves a quiet imprint on the local streets, where the sturdy architecture of the past still stands as a testament to the town's original, rapid ascent.
The cultural character of Gas City remains rooted in a Midwestern stoicism, a temperament shaped by the changing seasons and the local dedication to high school athletics. Life here moves with a measured pace, often centered around the shared experiences of neighbors and the quiet traditions of the regional calendar. Brookhaven Addition Lake provides a nearby point of reflection for those seeking a moment of stillness away from the main thoroughfares. Notable figures with connections to the region often reflect this grounded upbringing, such as the late actor James Dean, who grew up in the vicinity and embodied the restless, searching spirit often found in these quiet corners of the country. Events throughout the year, hosted at local venues, bring residents together to celebrate the specific traditions of the county. In the evening, the streetlights cast a warm glow over the sidewalks, illuminating a place that finds its beauty in the predictable, honest patterns of everyday existence.

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.
