How to Use This Newtown, Indiana Map

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

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.

Newtown emerges from the expansive Indiana plains as a quiet intersection of open sky and fertile soil, defined by the steady, unhurried transit of Little Shawnee Creek. It lies 10.0 miles east of Fountain, IN (from Fountain, IN: bearing 97°T), and is situated 8.2 miles southeast of Attica. The landscape surrounding Newtown is a mosaic of agricultural fields and small, persistent woodlots that catch the amber light of late afternoon, casting long, lean shadows across the flat horizons. To the distant east, the silhouette of Devils Backbone provides a rugged, jagged edge to the sky, while the nearby terrain remains shaped by the patient, seasonal cycles of the earth. The air here holds a distinctive clarity, smelling of damp loam and the faint, metallic tang of shifting weather, far removed from any maritime influence.

Newtown maintains a character rooted in the legacy of the regional agrarian economy, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pulse of daily activity. Residents look toward the nearby Hillsboro Wildlife Management Area for a sense of untamed space, or find a different sort of stillness at Shawnee Lake, where the water surface mirrors the changing colors of the canopy. Those who traverse the local roads often find themselves contemplating the geological depth of the region, perhaps thinking of the distant Opossum Hollow, which seems to hold the history of the land in its sheltered basin. Life in Newtown persists with a steady, deliberate motion, mirroring the quiet persistence of the creek as it winds through the fields, marking time in a way that feels both ancient and entirely present.

About This Newtown Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Newtown, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.204205, -87.147786. 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 Newtown includes the ZIP code (47969, 47994), telephone area code (765), county seat of Fountain County (Covington), and school district assignment (Southeast Fountain School Corporation).

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.
