How to Use This New Point, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Point, 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 Point.
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.

ZIP codes: 47263, 47240.New Point occupies a quiet expanse of the Indiana interior, where the land stretches out in a mosaic of woodlots and carefully tended fields. It lies 8.5 miles east-southeast of Greensburg, IN (from Greensburg, IN: bearing 103°T), and is situated 5.8 miles west of Batesville. Tub Creek winds its way through the landscape, carving a subtle, serpentine path that feeds the moisture into the soil and sustains the verdant edges of Saltcreek Township Park. The air here holds a peculiar clarity at dusk, when the light turns a bruised, heavy gold and pulls the shadows of the oaks long across the stubble of the harvest. Twelve miles distant, the silhouette of Jackson Hill offers the only significant variation in the horizon, a soft interruption in the otherwise flat, fertile geometry of the plains.
New Point carries the weight of a history rooted in the grit of agricultural labor and the steady, mechanical pulse of regional industry. The economy has long relied upon the rhythm of these fields and the transport of goods across the inland corridors, maintaining a pace that favors endurance over speed. Life in New Point moves with an unpretentious gravity, marked by the shared maintenance of the local grounds and the occasional excursion to the waters of Paradise Lake for respite. It is a place where the stillness is not an absence of activity, but a deliberate choice, allowing the inhabitants to measure their days by the changing color of the sky and the slow, seasonal turning of the earth.

About This New Point Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Point, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.309773, -85.329132. 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 New Point includes the ZIP code (47263, 47240), telephone area code (317), county seat of Decatur County (Greensburg), and school district assignment (Decatur County Community Schools).
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.
