How to Use This Landess, Indiana Map

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

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 Landess, Indiana

Landess is a locality in Grant County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 153. The population density is 42.1 people per km². Landess is located at 40.6109°N, 85.5611°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 46991.

Landess anchors a quiet expanse of north-central Indiana where the Pulley Ditch carves a narrow, persistent path through the level silt of the plains. It lies 11.5 miles northeast of Grant, IN (from Grant, IN: bearing 34°T), and is situated 9.0 miles north-northeast of Gas City. The landscape around Landess stretches toward the horizon in a mosaic of woodlots and heavy-soiled fields, occasionally interrupted by the sharp rise of a distant grain elevator. To the west, the faint, hazy shadow of The Hogback marks the limit of the view, while the cooling air of dusk settles over the fields in a pale, violet clarity that renders the telephone wires and fence lines into stark, ink-drawn silhouettes. Four miles away, the waters of Loew Lake Dam South hold the stillness of the afternoon, reflecting the vast, unbroken sky that defines the temperament of the local terrain.

The history of Landess remains tethered to the industrious rhythm of the surrounding acreage, where the economy has long drawn its vitality from the deep, dark earth and the movement of seasonal harvests. Residents often find respite in the green canopy of the Salamonie River State Forest, or spend quiet weekends wandering the trails at Matter Park, six miles to the north. Life in Landess proceeds with a deliberate, measured pace, favoring the reliability of long-standing family plots and the slow, grinding turn of agricultural commerce. It is a place where the social pulse beats in the small gatherings of neighbors, and the character of the locality is defined by a modest, enduring attachment to the land that has sustained it through every passing generation.

About This Landess Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Landess, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.610876, -85.561086. 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 Landess includes the ZIP code (46991), telephone area code (574), county seat of Grant County (Marion), and school district assignment (Eastbrook Community 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.
