How to Use This Long Beach, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Long Beach, 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 Long Beach.
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 Long Beach, Indiana
Long Beach is a locality in LaPorte County, Indiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,189. The population density is 440.6 people per km². Long Beach is located at 41.7389°N, 86.8570°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Long Beach is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 46360.Long Beach reveals itself through the persistent, rhythmic shifting of sand against the northern horizon of Lake Michigan. It lies 2.9 miles northeast of Michigan City, IN (from Michigan City, IN: bearing 42°T), and is situated 2.8 miles north of Trail Creek. Beyond the immediate shoreline, the landscape settles into a quiet composure where the light often turns a pale, bruised violet as it filters through the trees. The proximity of the water dictates the character of the soil, which remains sandy and porous, supporting a resilient scrub growth that eventually gives way to the protected, verdant stretches of Pottawattamie. To the west, the shifting topography culminates in the landmark of Mount Baldy, a silent witness to the elemental forces that have long shaped the shoreline. Otter Creek meanders through the peripheral woods, its progress marked by the rustle of reeds and the slow, deliberate movement of water toward the larger basin.
Long Beach maintains a deliberate pace, defined more by the seasonal ebb of visitors than the frantic pulse of industry. While the regional economy has historically leaned into the weight of steel and the labor of the manufacturing corridor, the life of Long Beach remains insulated, leaning instead toward a quiet, residential permanence that values the privacy of the dunes. The legacy of the area is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring pattern of neighborhood life that persists despite the proximity of the bustling Outer Basin. Residents navigate their days with a steady, unadorned focus, recognizing that the true value of the locality lies in its stillness and the way the wind carries the cool, damp breath of the lake across their porches. It is a place that asks for little, offering in return a rare, expansive clarity of sky and a grounded sense of belonging.

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.
