Explore New Ross, 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 Ross, 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 Ross.
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 Ross emerges from the flat, industrious quilt of the Indiana plains, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a vault of pale, expansive sky. It lies 10.0 miles east-southeast of Crawfordsville, IN (from Crawfordsville, IN: bearing 122°T), and is situated 11.8 miles west-southwest of Boone. The landscape here favors the patient labor of the plow, defined by a mosaic of fertile farmland and quiet woodlots that shift in color from the deep, verdant greens of summer to the muted, earthen ochre of harvest. Just a mile away, the waters of Big Raccoon Creek trace a deliberate path through the silt, providing a low, rhythmic pulse to the countryside that remains largely undisturbed by the frantic pace of the wider world. To the east, the distant silhouette of Devils Backbone provides a jagged, shadowed boundary to the view, while the nearby expanse of Calvert And Porter Woods Nature Preserve offers a preserved cathedral of timber where the light filters through canopy leaves in soft, shifting patterns of gold and gray.
New Ross serves as a quiet anchor for the surrounding agricultural life, a place where the economy remains tethered to the seasonal cycles of grain and the steady maintenance of the soil. The character of New Ross is etched into its modest, sturdy architecture and the deliberate, unhurried cadence of its inhabitants as they navigate the change of seasons. While Norman Lake sits eleven miles distant, providing a localized stillness for those who seek the water’s edge, the town itself focuses on the immediate demands of the field and the local road. Life here is measured not by grand events but by the consistency of the weather and the success of the crops, reflecting a rootedness that persists even as the modern world pushes against its edges.

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.
