Explore Gentryville, 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 Gentryville, 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 Gentryville.
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.

Gentryville marks the landscape with a quiet persistence, defined by the slow, deliberate work of seasonal change across a mosaic of fields and woodlots. It lies 12.6 miles east of Warrick, IN (from Warrick, IN: bearing 80°T), and is situated 6.6 miles west of Santa Claus. The horizon remains wide and unencumbered, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of Sand Ridge far to the east, while the immediate ground is shaped by the steady, unassuming presence of Buckhorn Creek as it meanders through the lowlands. Sunlight here possesses a particular quality in the late afternoon, casting long, amber shadows that catch the texture of the soil and turn the surrounding timber into a deep, muted bronze. Only a mile away, the quietude of Lincoln State Park offers a sanctuary of oak and hickory, while the still, reflective surface of Lake Lincoln lies a mere two miles distant, holding the sky in its depths and offering a cool respite from the heat of the summer harvest.
History clings to the soil of Gentryville, a place where the echoes of frontier life persist beneath the modern hum of agricultural industry. The economy remains tethered to the land, relying on the diligent cultivation of the plains that stretch toward the Spencer County State Forest, where the timber and soil continue to dictate the rhythm of the year. This locale is not merely a crossroads but a site of enduring memory, where the small-scale commerce of the present day sits atop the foundations laid by early settlers. Life moves in accordance with the turning of the seasons, characterized by a certain gravity and a lack of pretense that defines the local spirit. Gentryville persists as an anchor in the landscape, a place where the weight of the past is felt not as a burden, but as a steadying hand on the daily labor of those who remain.

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.
