Explore Martin, 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 Martin, 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 Martin.
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.

Martin emerges from the quiet expanse of the interior plains where the horizon stretches wide and unburdened by distant peaks. It lies 6.0 miles west-northwest of Vanderburgh, IN (from Vanderburgh, IN: bearing 301°T), and is situated 12.2 miles north-northwest of Evansville. Barr Creek winds its way through the landscape, acting as a persistent pulse that feeds the surrounding woodlot and farmland mosaic. Three miles to the north, Edgewater Lake holds a mirror to the vast, shifting Indiana sky. On clear afternoons, one might discern the faint, blue-tinted outline of the Foote Pond Hills standing fourteen miles away on the edge of vision. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and turning leaves, a sensory reminder of the steady, seasonal cycles that define the environment.
Early settlers favored Martin for its fertile soil and the proximity to reliable water sources, which invited the slow development of agricultural trade. The local economy maintains its roots in the productivity of the land, with small-scale milling and regional distribution centers providing the primary industrial rhythm. These operations function with a quiet efficiency, honoring the heritage of craftsmanship that has long sustained the families residing here. As the sun dips behind the barns, the long shadows cast across the fields reveal a landscape shaped by decades of careful cultivation. The collective focus remains on sustaining these local enterprises, ensuring that the labor of the past continues to support the needs of the present.
Cultural life in Martin finds its expression in the communal gatherings at the Unknown Ball Park, where summer evenings are marked by the sound of wooden bats and neighborhood conversation. The town preserves its character through the maintenance of modest, brick-lined streets and a sense of shared identity that eschews grandiosity. While the pace of life remains deliberate and grounded, the area has occasionally been a starting point for individuals who later achieved national recognition in fields ranging from literature to athletic excellence. Local traditions persist in the celebration of harvest seasons and the quiet pride taken in the upkeep of public spaces. Each day in Martin moves with a predictable grace, reflecting a community that values its place in the broader, steady flow of the American Midwest.

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.
