Explore New Harmony, 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 Harmony, 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 Harmony.
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 Harmony occupies a quiet stretch of land where the flat, fertile earth of the Wabash Valley meets the edge of a vast, ancient woodlot. It lies 9.1 miles north-northwest of Posey, IN (from Posey, IN: bearing 346°T), and is situated 19.6 miles west of Vanderburgh. Maple Run traces a narrow, cooling path through the terrain, its course marking the boundary between the cultivated fields and the wilder, shaded groves that define the local topography. Beyond the immediate reach of the settlement, the horizon remains low and unbroken, save for the distant, muted silhouette of Thompson Mound rising eight miles away. At the New Harmony Public Access Site, the air often carries a stillness that feels heavy with the scent of damp soil and drying corn, a physical weight that settles over the landscape as the light fades to a bruised, violet gray.
New Harmony preserves the physical remnants of two distinct utopian experiments, its streets lined with sturdy, plain-faced brick buildings that reflect a history of earnest, if difficult, communal labor. While the local economy has shifted from the agrarian and experimental roots of its founders to a quiet focus on historical tourism and the arts, the town retains a sense of disciplined order in its architecture and geometry. Visitors often linger near the site of early communal gardens or look toward the distant, shimmering surface of Pitcher Lake, thirteen miles off, as a point of reflection on the landscape’s long endurance. Life in New Harmony moves with a deliberate, measured pace, grounded in the reality of a region that values the persistent, quiet labor of the seasons over the frantic pulse of the modern world.

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.
