Explore New Albany, 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 New Albany, 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 New Albany.
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.

New Albany maintains a quiet gravity as it anchors the landscape between the rugged elevation of Hitner Ridge and the steady passage of the Fall Run. It lies 3.5 miles east of Floyd, IN (from Floyd, IN: bearing 91°T), and is situated 4.1 miles west-northwest of Louisville. The local topography is defined by the gentle descent into South Hollow, where the land holds the cool moisture of the evening long after the sun has retreated behind the trees. Nearby, the Falls of the Ohio reveal ancient, fossil-rich limestone beds that have shaped the character of the ground for eons. Residents often wander through Falling Run Park, a space that keeps the pulse of the local wilderness close to the center of daily life. Even the distant, quiet waters of Bills Lakes offer a sense of stillness to those who venture just a few miles beyond the familiar woodlots.
New Albany grew from a frontier settlement into a hub of industry, fueled by the ingenuity of those who first recognized the potential of this inland transit point. The economy shifted over time from early river-based trade and manufacturing to a diverse range of modern professional services and light industry. Brick storefronts in the downtown core remain as evidence of an era when local artisans and laborers built the foundation for a durable, working-class prosperity. The regional mosaic of farmland and woodlot often intersects with the industrial corridors, creating a landscape that values both production and the preservation of open space. While the nature of the work has evolved, the commitment to steady, productive growth remains a hallmark of the people who reside here.
New Albany possesses a distinct cultural rhythm, one that favors the understated camaraderie found in local basketball courts and neighborhood gatherings. The identity of the place is tied to the legacy of individuals like the writer Alice Tisdale Hobart, whose observations of the world were informed by the grounded perspective of her origins. Landmarks such as the historic mansion district provide a physical record of the past, standing in dignified contrast to the modern pace of the surrounding region. Community life often centers around seasonal events that bring neighbors together to celebrate the unique heritage of the area. There is an authentic resilience here, a quiet pride in the way the town conducts its affairs without needing to shout for attention.

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.
