Explore New Paris, 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 Paris, 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 Paris.
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 Paris stretches across a quiet expanse of northern Indiana where the horizon is defined by the steady, unyielding geometry of cornfields and woodlots. It lies 5.7 miles south of Goshen, IN (from Goshen, IN: bearing 177°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-northeast of Nappanee. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, catching the edges of the flat, sprawling plains and illuminating the subtle rise of Buzzard Hill as it breaks the monotony of the landscape two miles away. Turkey Creek meanders through this terrain just a mile from the center, its course carving a modest path through the earth that provides a cool, damp relief to the surrounding fields. Within the immediate reach of the streets, Sunnyside Park offers a green stillness that marks the pace of the day, while the waters of Goshen Dam Pond wait three miles off, reflecting the vast, open skies that dominate this inland geography.
New Paris maintains a rhythm tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest, a quiet persistence that has defined its character since the early days of settlement. The economy remains firmly rooted in the productivity of the soil and the industrious nature of those who work the equipment that sustains the regional mosaic of farms. Life in New Paris moves with a deliberate, unassuming grace, where the clang of machinery and the distant hum of traffic on rural roads serve as the primary soundtrack to daily existence. Even as time shifts the demands of the modern world, the local identity stays fixed to these acres, where the pride of a season’s labor is measured in the health of the crops and the enduring strength of the neighbors who share the work.

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.
