How to Use This Memphis, Indiana Map

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

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 Memphis, Indiana

Memphis is a locality in Clark County, Indiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,077. The population density is 160.1 people per km². Memphis is located at 38.4948°N, 85.7670°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Kentucky/Louisville) timezone. ZIP code: 47143.

Memphis emerges from the quiet intersection of rolling farmland and persistent woodlots, defined by the slow, deliberate pulse of Silver Creek as it carves through the local limestone. It lies 3.1 miles northwest of Clark, IN (from Clark, IN: bearing 320°T), and is situated 6.3 miles north-northeast of Saint Joseph. Sunlight here possesses a particular, heavy clarity, catching the dust of late summer afternoons and casting long, amber shadows across the fields that stretch toward the distant, rounded silhouette of Round Knob. The air carries the scent of damp earth and drying corn stalks, a sensory anchor in a landscape that feels expansive and uncrowded. Only three miles away, the expansive green corridors of Clark State Forest offer a deeper immersion into the native hardwoods, where the silence is broken only by the sharp, rhythmic call of a woodpecker or the rustle of undergrowth.

Memphis retains the sturdy, modest character of a place built upon the labor of the soil and the steady transit of regional commerce. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the industrious small-scale trade that has sustained the area since its early settlement. While the modern world moves with a different velocity, life in Memphis is marked by the enduring presence of the land, whether one is passing the quiet expanse of Bowen Lake seven miles to the north or navigating the subtle topography near Money Hollow. There is a profound sense of continuity in the way the local routes follow the natural contours of the earth, connecting neighbors through a shared history that prioritizes endurance over rapid change.

About This Memphis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Memphis, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.494822, -85.767036. 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 Memphis includes the ZIP code (47143), telephone area code (317), county seat of Clark County (Jeffersonville), and school district assignment (Borden-Henryville School Corp).

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.
