How to Use This Painted Hills, Indiana Map

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

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.

Painted Hills rises from the undulating topography of the Indiana interior, where the persistent current of Camp Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the limestone-rich earth. It lies 4.9 miles east-southeast of Martinsville, IN (from Martinsville, IN: bearing 117°T), and is situated 8.0 miles south of Morgan. The landscape is defined by a dense, verdant mosaic of woodlots and shadowed ravines, anchored by the stillness of Painted Hills Lake, which catches the heavy, amber light of late afternoon. To the north, the elevation climbs toward the distant, rugged silhouette of Hatfield Ridge, while the horizon is further darkened by the deep, ancient timber of Morgan Monroe State Forest. The air here holds a cool, damp weight, smelling of damp soil and decaying leaves, a reminder that the land is shaped by the slow, seasonal pulse of the midwestern forest.

Economic life in Painted Hills remains tethered to the quiet patterns of the surrounding landscape, reflecting a history of small-scale stewardship and gradual development. Residents often look toward the nearby Morgan - Monroe State Forest, an expansive SRMA that serves as a primary keeper of the regional character, preserving the wild corridors that stretch away from the developed plots. While the pace of daily existence moves in rhythm with the agricultural cycles of the neighboring counties, the community maintains a solitary focus, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. For those who seek to traverse the broader terrain, the Three Lakes Trail provides a rugged passage through the backcountry, skirting the deeper depressions of Greasy Hollow and offering a view of a geography that remains stubbornly, beautifully inland.
