Explore Jamestown, 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 Jamestown, 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 Jamestown.
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.

Jamestown occupies a quiet expanse of the Indiana interior, where the horizon stretches flat and wide, defined by the rigorous geometry of plowed fields and the occasional cluster of hardwood trees. It lies 9.6 miles north of Steuben, IN (from Steuben, IN: bearing 349°T), and is situated 7.9 miles north of Angola. The land here feels anchored by the stillness of Lake George, which mirrors the vast, pale sky and grounds the surrounding farmland in a perpetual, glassy calm. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain remains largely level, though the distant silhouette of Walnut Ridge offers a jagged, blue-tinted interruption to the otherwise unbroken line of the plains. Only two miles away, the steady movement of Follette Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the soil, providing a rhythmic, low-lying contrast to the open agricultural expanse that characterizes the local topography.
Jamestown maintains a measured pace of life, deeply tethered to the seasonal cycles of the earth and the enduring patterns of rural industry. Residents often find respite in the quiet trails of Kope Kon, a local sanctuary where the shade of mature timber offers a reprieve from the unfiltered intensity of the midday sun. The history of the region is written not in grand monuments, but in the sturdy brick foundations of older structures and the persistent, industrious nature of those who work the surrounding soil. Life here is defined by the reliable hum of grain elevators and the social gravity of the local school, where the pride of the community is often concentrated on the hardwood of the basketball court. Even as the modern world accelerates elsewhere, Jamestown remains a place where the quality of light at dusk—turning the fields a deep, bruised gold—remains the most significant event of the day.

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.
