How to Use This Metamora, Indiana Map

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

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 Metamora, Indiana

Metamora is a locality in Franklin County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 207. The population density is 237.9 people per km². Metamora is located at 39.4498°N, 85.1394°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47030.

Metamora reveals itself as a collection of weathered timber and brick edges carved into the landscape where the steady current of Duck Creek pulls the eye toward the horizon. It lies 12.6 miles southeast of Orange, IN (from Orange, IN: bearing 137°T), and is situated 9.5 miles south-southeast of Columbia. The terrain here rises toward the slopes of McGuire Ridge, creating a basin of dense woodland and cleared pastures that keeps the world at a distance. Sunlight at dusk catches the dust motes above the valley floor, turning the air into a golden, heavy medium that seems to hold the quiet of the woods in suspension. Those looking for water beyond the creek might wander toward Triple Lakes, finding a stillness there that contrasts with the persistent, low-frequency rush of the flowing water nearby.

Metamora maintains a posture of deliberate preservation, honoring the remnants of an era when the canal system dictated the flow of commerce and the movement of goods. The local economy now leans into the curiosity of the traveler, with shopfronts occupying spaces that once served the practical needs of a canal-side hub. History exists here not as a closed book, but as a series of structures that define the daily rhythm, from the iron-wrought artifacts to the simple, functional architecture of the storefronts. Visitors seeking wider expanses often venture toward the Brookville Recreation Area, while those who prefer the secluded mystery of the landscape might find themselves tracing the topography toward Coalpit Hollow or listening for the distant, persistent pulse of Derbyshire Falls.

About This Metamora Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Metamora, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.449772, -85.139406. 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 Metamora includes the ZIP code (47030), telephone area code (317, 463), county seat of Franklin County (Brookville), and school district assignment (Franklin County Community 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.
