How to Use This Jerome, Indiana Map

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

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.

About Jerome, Indiana

Jerome is a locality in Howard County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 33. The population density is 84.6 people per km². Jerome is located at 40.4553°N, 85.9308°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 46936.

Jerome emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana plains where the earth holds the deep, dark color of ancient glacial retreat. It lies 10.9 miles east-southeast of Kokomo, IN (from Kokomo, IN: bearing 101°T), and is situated 2.5 miles southeast of Greentown. Wildcat Creek carves a winding path through the heavy soil nearby, its waters moving with a deliberate, sluggish patience that dictates the tempo of the surrounding fields. On the horizon, the faint, hazy suggestion of The Hogback serves as a silent guardian, though the land immediately around Jerome remains dominated by a mosaic of woodlots and expansive corn rows that catch the amber light of late afternoon. At dusk, the air grows heavy with the scent of damp loam and cooling metal, an atmosphere that feels both expansive and intensely private.

Jerome maintains a quiet connection to the land, defined by a history of agricultural industry that persists in the rhythm of the seasons. The local economy relies on the steady, methodical work of the fields, while the nearby Howard County Fairgrounds serves as a seasonal anchor for communal life and regional gathering. Residents look toward the Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two as a primary source of stillness, a place where the water remains undisturbed by the faster pace of industrial centers further afield. Life in Jerome moves with the unassuming grace of a place that values the weight of its own quiet, grounded in the practical realities of the Midwest rather than the clamor of the wider world.

About This Jerome Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Jerome, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.455316, -85.930818. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Jerome includes the ZIP code (46936), telephone area code (574), county seat of Howard County (Kokomo), and school district assignment (Eastern Howard School Corporation).

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.
