Explore Greenfield, 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 Greenfield, 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 Greenfield.
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.

Greenfield serves as an anchor of the Indiana landscape, where the flat, fertile plains stretch toward a horizon that feels infinite under the expansive Midwestern sky. It lies 5.0 miles east-southeast of Hancock, IN (from Hancock, IN: bearing 123°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west of Henry. The Potts Ditch carves a quiet, essential path through the terrain, tracing the subtle contours of a geography defined by its inland distance from any coast. Residents often find respite at Roberts Lake, which provides a serene mirror for the shifting clouds just a short distance from the center of town. Visitors frequently traverse the Pennsy Trail Park, an accessible linear path that invites a slower pace of movement through the local environment. On clear days, the distant silhouette of Pea Ridge may be glimpsed as a faint, gray ripple against the far edge of the sky. The atmosphere carries a particular clarity, especially at dusk when the light turns amber and highlights the texture of the surrounding woodlots.
Greenfield developed as a central point for agricultural commerce, evolving from its early roots into a place where the rhythm of trade remains tied to the land. The economy has matured alongside the region, transitioning from traditional farming enterprises to a more diversified landscape of modern industry and regional distribution. Local businesses and manufacturing facilities now occupy the space where once only vast fields of grain stood, creating a steady pulse of activity. This expansion has honored the legacy of the settlers who first cleared these woods, recognizing the value of hard work and the productivity of the soil. As the seasons cycle through, the local economy adapts, maintaining a sturdy foundation that supports the daily lives of those who reside here. The persistence of these industries ensures that Greenfield remains a functional, industrious node in the regional economy.
Greenfield cultivates a distinct cultural identity, marked by a deep respect for the arts and a quiet, deliberate way of life. The poet James Whitcomb Riley, a figure of national literary prominence, remains the most celebrated individual associated with the area, his influence still felt in the local appreciation for storytelling and verse. Landmarks like the historic Riley home stand as physical expressions of this heritage, grounding the residents in their shared past. Annual events bring neighbors together in the streets, fostering a sense of connection that defines the social fabric of the community. Education and local development continue to be prioritized, ensuring that the next generation remains engaged with the unique history of their home. Every corner of Greenfield reflects a commitment to maintaining a balance between progress and the preservation of its particular character.

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.
