How to Use This Grissom AFB, Indiana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grissom AFB, 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 Grissom AFB.

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.

Grissom AFB commands a sprawling expanse of flat, midwestern terrain where the horizon stretches thin and pale under the wide, unobstructed Indiana sky. It lies 5.5 miles south-southwest of Wells, IN (from Wells, IN: bearing 201°T), and is situated 7.8 miles south-southwest of Peru. The landscape around Grissom AFB is defined by a mosaic of persistent farmland and dense woodlot, punctuated only by the quiet, silver ribbon of Little Deer Creek carving a shallow path through the soil just a mile from the perimeter. In the distance, the silhouette of The Hogback rises as a faint, jagged suggestion against the haze, while the deeper greenery of Frances Slocum State Forest offers a dense, shaded reprieve from the sun-bleached fields. During the late afternoon, the light here turns a bruised shade of violet, catching the stubble of harvested corn and casting long, spindly shadows that seem to stretch toward the water of Mississinewa Lake.

History clings to the tarmac and the surrounding townships, where the local economy has long shifted from the thrum of heavy aviation to the steady, rhythmic pulse of logistical support and civilian enterprise. Residents often find their way to Bunker Hill Town Park for a quiet afternoon, a place where the pace of life slows to match the swaying of native grasses. The identity of the area remains anchored in the stubborn resilience of the plains, a quiet dedication to work and the seasonal shifts of the earth that dictates the tempo of the day. There is an austere beauty in the way the local architecture—all brick and modest utility—hunkers down against the wind, reflecting a culture that values the functional and the enduring over the decorative.
