Explore Linton, 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 Linton, 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 Linton.
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.

Linton reveals itself through a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of Midwestern farmland and the enduring rhythm of the seasons. It lies 23.0 miles north of Daviess, IN (from Daviess, IN: bearing 357°T), and is situated 13.5 miles east-southeast of Sullivan. Sunlight stretches thin and golden over the fields in the late afternoon, casting long shadows that trace the contours of the earth. Two miles to the west, the waters of Beehunter Ditch trace a slow, deliberate path through the terrain, while Boy Scout Pond offers a still mirror to the sky nearby. To the east, the distant silhouette of Persimmon Ridge punctuates the horizon, anchoring the view against the vast openness of the plains. Five miles away, the expansive greenery of Greene-Sullivan State Forest provides a dense, wooded contrast to the orderly rows of the surrounding agricultural mosaic.
Linton emerged from the rugged persistence of early settlers who recognized the potential in the coal-rich earth beneath their feet. For generations, the local economy leaned heavily into the extraction of minerals, shaping the very character and daily habits of the laboring population. Today, the town moves with a steady, pragmatic pace, pivoting away from those industrial roots toward a more diverse landscape of small businesses and regional services. The physical remnants of past mining operations have softened over time, reclaimed by nature and repurposed into the quiet, functional spaces that define the current local economy. Education and retail provide the modern fiber of the community, sustaining the people who remain committed to the land. This shift reflects a broader resilience, as Linton continues to adapt its identity while respecting the quiet, hardworking history that built its foundations.
Linton pulses with a cultural character deeply rooted in the camaraderie of local sport and the shared traditions of the Hoosier interior. The Linton Girls & Boys Ball Fields serve as a vital gathering place where the sharp crack of a bat echoes through the humid summer air, drawing families together under the stadium lights. These fields act as a central hub for social life, reinforcing the bonds that tie neighbors to one another across the changing years. While the town remains modest in its claims, it maintains a steadfast pride in the achievements of those who have represented the area on larger stages. Every autumn, the air grows crisp, signaling the time for local events that celebrate the harvest and the enduring spirit of the neighborhood. The atmosphere remains grounded and unpretentious, defined by the simple beauty of a quiet street at dusk or the familiar faces found at a Friday night game.

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.
