How to Use This Owensville, Indiana Map

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

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.

Owensville emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of southwestern Indiana as a quiet grid defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Owen Run, which skirts the edge of the settlement like a silver thread stitched into the dark loam. It lies 10.2 miles north of Martin, IN (from Martin, IN: bearing 356°T), and is situated 8.7 miles southwest of Princeton. Beyond the immediate streets, the horizon remains wide and unencumbered, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of the Gordon Hills that anchor the far landscape in a smudge of blue-gray. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, casting elongated shadows across the fields that stretch toward the horizon, while the nearby Tern Bar Slough offers a sanctuary of tangled reeds and stagnant, glass-still water. To the north, the waters of Broad Pond catch the amber light of late afternoon, mirroring the wide skies that dominate this inland basin.

Agriculture serves as the pulse of Owensville, where the rhythm of the seasons is dictated by the turning of the soil and the methodical harvest of corn and soybeans. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding mosaic of woodlots and expansive acreage, a heritage that has shaped the town’s sturdy, utilitarian character over generations. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, finding its social center in the local basketball courts where the sharp, rhythmic snap of a ball against asphalt punctuates the evening air. There is a profound stillness in the way the local architecture—simple brick facades and weather-worn porches—seems to surrender to the vastness of the plains, reflecting a community that values the persistence of the harvest and the quiet continuity of the interior landscape.

About This Owensville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Owensville, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.271989, -87.687804. 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 Owensville includes the ZIP code (47665), telephone area code (812), county seat of Gibson County (Princeton), and school district assignment (South Gibson 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.
