Explore Greentown, 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 Greentown, 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 Greentown.
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.

Greentown emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana plains, defined by the quiet persistence of the Brunk Ditch as it carves a path through the earth. It lies 8.8 miles east of Kokomo, IN (from Kokomo, IN: bearing 94°T), and is situated 14.8 miles west of Grant. The landscape here is a mosaic of rich soil and woodlots, where the light at dusk settles heavy and gold over the fields, turning the distant silhouettes of The Hogback into mere smudges of violet against the darkening sky. Only a mile away, the surface of Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two mirrors the shifting clouds, providing a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic, seasonal pulse of the surrounding farmland. The air carries the scent of turned earth and dry stalks, a sensory reminder of the agrarian cycles that have long dictated the pace of life in this corner of the state.
Greentown maintains a steady, deliberate character, anchored by the long-standing presence of the Howard County Fairgrounds, which serves as a vital gathering place for the exchange of labor and local tradition. Historically, the economy has been tethered to the productivity of the soil and the industrious nature of those who work it, fostering a culture of self-reliance that persists today. While the shadows of the Frances Slocum State Forest loom eighteen miles away, the immediate surroundings remain intensely cultivated, reflecting a history of settlement that valued utility and permanence. Life in Greentown moves with the predictability of the seasons, marked by the simple, enduring architecture of brick and timber that stands against the expansive Midwestern horizon.

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.
