Explore Kokomo, 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 Kokomo, 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 Kokomo.
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.

Kokomo emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana plains as a purposeful settlement defined by the steady, persistent flow of Wildcat Creek. It lies 17.0 miles south of Wells, IN (from Wells, IN: bearing 184°T), and is situated 8.8 miles west of Greentown. The landscape here is characterized by a mosaic of productive farmland and small, dense woodlots that shift in color with the turning of the seasons, from the deep, verdant greens of midsummer to the stark, brittle gold of late autumn. While the horizon remains largely level, the distant silhouette of The Hogback provides a subtle, jagged contrast to the otherwise uniform sky. Residents of Kokomo often find themselves gravitating toward the verdant expanse of Foster Park, a local sanctuary that serves as a quiet lungs for the central district, offering a relief of grass and shade against the rigid geometry of the surrounding industrial grid.
History within Kokomo began with the quiet labor of early settlers who recognized the potential of this inland crossroads long before the arrival of the rail lines. The founding of the settlement drew strength from the necessity of harnessing the regional waterways and the richness of the soil, which promised a stability that fleeting frontier outposts could not sustain. As the nineteenth century progressed, the discovery of natural gas beneath the surface transformed the trajectory of Kokomo, fueling a rapid transition from a modest agricultural trading post into a site of intensive manufacture. This period of expansion left an indelible mark on the civic architecture, where sturdy brick buildings still stand as a silent record of the ambition that once defined the early industrial era.
Economic life in Kokomo remains anchored in the traditions of precision engineering and advanced manufacturing, sectors that have evolved alongside the shifting demands of the global market. Infrastructure supports this focus, with a network of roads and utilities designed to move heavy goods and maintain the constant hum of production lines that have sustained families for generations. Educational opportunities are bolstered by the presence of Indiana University Kokomo, which provides a center for intellectual development and professional training, ensuring that the local workforce remains adaptable. Beyond the factory floor, the proximity to Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two serves as a vital resource for the region, balancing the demands of industry with the essential requirements of the populace.
Cultural character in Kokomo is found in the shared devotion to high school basketball and the quiet, recurring festivals that mark the passage of the calendar year. The local spirit is defined by a sense of professional resilience, mirrored in the way the town gathers for major annual events that celebrate its heritage and its people. While famous individuals like Elwood Haynes, a pioneer of the early automotive industry, are permanently linked to the identity of Kokomo, the true culture resides in the daily rhythm of life at Foster Park and the community’s collective pride. The air in the evening often holds a particular stillness, a quiet clarity that descends upon the neighborhood streets, grounding the residents in a place that has learned, over many decades, how to endure and how to grow.

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.
