How to Use This Laconia, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Laconia, 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 Laconia.
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 Laconia, Indiana

Laconia is located at 38.0317°N, 86.0855°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Kentucky/Louisville) timezone. Laconia is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 47135.Laconia anchors itself within a landscape of limestone foundations and quiet, fertile earth where the horizon is defined by the steady rise of Hog Ridge. It lies 20.6 miles south-southwest of Floyd, IN (from Floyd, IN: bearing 211°T), and is situated 5.1 miles east-northeast of Brandenburg. The terrain manifests as a mosaic of woodlots and agricultural fields, drained by the subtle, persistent veins of Big Run that carve through the local topography. Only a mile away, the Three-Way Sedge Sinkhole Swamp reveals the porous, hidden character of this karst region, where water disappears into the earth to feed subterranean channels. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar clarity, catching the edges of the limestone outcrops and turning the afternoon fields into a muted palette of gold and weathered gray, while the distance to Doe Valley Lake offers a localized respite of stillness.
Laconia carries the weight of a settlement forged in the slow, deliberate work of the southern Indiana interior, far removed from the bustle of the coast. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the legacy of the surrounding timber, echoing a time when the Harrison-Crawford State Forest provided the primary resources for those who cleared these plots. Life in Laconia persists at a pace dictated by the seasons, where the memory of Froman Hollow and the distant, rushing sound of The Big Falls serve as natural landmarks in the daily geography of its inhabitants. It is a place where the stillness of the rural evening is broken only by the movement of the wind through the trees, maintaining a quiet continuity that honors the endurance of its early pioneers.

About This Laconia Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Laconia, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.031738, -86.085523. 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 Laconia includes the ZIP code (47135), telephone area code (317), county seat of Harrison County (Corydon), and school district assignment (South Harrison 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.
