How to Use This Lewis, Indiana Map

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

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 Lewis, Indiana

Lewis is a locality in Vigo County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 560. The population density is 61.8 people per km². Lewis is located at 39.2600°N, 87.2575°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47858.

Lewis occupies a quiet expanse of the Indiana landscape where the terrain settles into a mosaic of fertile farmland and dense woodlots. It lies 9.7 miles southwest of Clay, IN (from Clay, IN: bearing 219°T), and is situated 15.1 miles east of Vigo. Watkins Creek carves a persistent path through the local topography, its waters tracing the low points of the fields before moving on toward larger basins. Beyond the immediate meadows, the horizon occasionally catches the faint, jagged silhouette of Stokey Ridge, though the view remains dominated by the expansive sky and the shifting shades of the seasonal crops. A mile from the center, the stillness of Hickory Lake offers a reflective mirror to the passing clouds, while the nearby Shakamak Prairie Nature Preserve guards a stretch of land that remains largely undisturbed by the modern press of commerce.

Lewis maintains a rhythm dictated by the steady cycles of agriculture and the maintenance of a rural economy that has long favored the patient work of the soil. History here is written in the modest architecture of the surrounding homesteads and the quiet persistence of those who cultivate the earth, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. The local pace is marked by the shifting light across the Eel River Prairie, where the golden hue of late afternoon often lingers, casting long shadows over the fields and emphasizing the depth of the horizon. While the world beyond these borders moves with an increasing velocity, the life of Lewis remains anchored to the land, finding its character in the simple durability of the harvest and the enduring presence of the creek that continues its slow, unhurried journey through the county.

About This Lewis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lewis, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.260041, -87.257516. 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 Lewis includes the ZIP code (47858), telephone area code (765), county seat of Vigo County (Terre Haute), and school district assignment (Vigo County 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.
