How to Use This Judah, Indiana Map

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

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 Judah, Indiana

Judah is a locality in Lawrence County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 157. The population density is 57.4 people per km². Judah is located at 38.9609°N, 86.5372°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47421.

Judah emerges from the limestone-heavy landscape as a quiet intersection of woodlot and working farmland, defined by the slow, deliberate accumulation of soil and stone. It lies 7.4 miles north-northwest of Bedford, IN (from Bedford, IN: bearing 339°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south-southwest of Smithville-Sanders. The horizon is marked by the distant, hazy silhouette of Pine Ridge, while the immediate ground is broken by the gentle, persistent descent into Hog Hollow. Only a mile away, the waters of Clifty Branch carve a narrow, restless path through the earth, feeding into the wider moisture of the region that sustains the dense, green canopy beyond the fields. When the late afternoon sun strikes the limestone outcroppings, the rock takes on a pale, bone-colored luminescence, casting long, stark shadows that stretch across the open pasture.

Judah retains the measured, steady character of an economy built upon the bedrock of the earth and the seasonal rhythms of the harvest. Families have long maintained the mosaic of timber and grain that defines the local perimeter, while the proximity to Monroe Lake and the Monroe Recreation Area brings a quiet influx of seasonal visitors seeking the stillness of the inland woods. Life here operates at a pace dictated by the turning seasons rather than the ticking clock, with the local architecture reflecting a practical, sturdy heritage that favors utility over ornament. Residents recognize that the proximity to the wilderness—where the terrain remains rugged and largely untouched—provides a necessary counterpoint to the orderly, fenced-in rows of the nearby cornfields.

About This Judah Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Judah, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.960882, -86.537218. 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 Judah includes the ZIP code (47421), telephone area code (317), county seat of Lawrence County (Bedford), and school district assignment (North Lawrence Community Schools).

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.
