How to Use This New Washington, Indiana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for New Washington, 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 Washington.

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.

About New Washington, Indiana

New Washington is a locality in Clark County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 595. The population density is 44.1 people per km². New Washington is located at 38.5696°N, 85.5601°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Kentucky/Louisville) timezone. ZIP codes: 47162, 47147.

New Washington exists as a quiet accumulation of limestone and timber, anchored firmly in the inland geography of the Hoosier landscape. It lies 7.3 miles north of Owen, IN (from Owen, IN: bearing 1°T), and is situated 18.4 miles northeast of Saint Joseph. The land surrounding New Washington carries a deliberate, heavy stillness, defined by the slow erosion of the karst topography and the presence of East Fork Fourteenmile Creek, which marks the terrain with a persistent, quiet erosion just a mile to the east. To the west, the horizon is held by the distinct, muted silhouette of Rodgers Ridge, while the earth itself breaks into the sudden, shaded depression of Dodson Hollow. The air here holds the scent of damp loam and cooling woodsmoke, a terrestrial weight that feels far removed from the motion of the world. In the distance, the terrain gathers into the protected quiet of Chelsea Flatwoods, where the woods stand in a tangled, unhurried density that seems to absorb the very light of the afternoon.

History in New Washington is written in the geometry of the fields and the endurance of the local woodlots, where the economy has long traded in the slow yield of the soil and the labor of the regional workshop. People pass through the day with a focused, steady attention to the rhythms of the seasons, moving between the porch and the furrow with an awareness of the land’s specific, limestone-heavy character. While life here remains rooted in the domestic, the proximity of Harts Falls offers a rare, vertical interruption to the otherwise leveled plains, a place where gravity pulls the water through the rock with a singular, rhythmic intensity. The community maintains a modest, unassuming pace, defined by the work of the hands and the quiet observation of a landscape that does not hurry to explain itself.

About This New Washington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of New Washington, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.569628, -85.560134. 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 Washington includes the ZIP code (47162, 47147), telephone area code (317), county seat of Clark County (Jeffersonville), and school district assignment (Greater Clark County 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.
