How to Use This Palestine, Indiana Map

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

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 Palestine, Indiana

Palestine is a locality in Franklin County, Indiana, United States. Palestine is located at 39.4173°N, 84.9277°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP codes: 46539, 47012, 46580.

Palestine occupies a quiet corner of the Midwestern interior, where the land settles into a mosaic of fertile woodlots and expansive, cultivated fields. It lies 17.5 miles north of Dearborn, IN (from Dearborn, IN: bearing 11°T), and is situated 4.6 miles east of Brookville. The topography is defined by the gentle carving of Sleepy Hollow just a mile away, a basin that catches the morning mists before the sun warms the limestone-rich soil. Nearby, the steady, rhythmic flow of Big Cedar Creek marks the passing of seasons, while the distant, hazy silhouette of Chappelow Ridge anchors the horizon to the west. On humid summer afternoons, the air here carries a heavy, golden stillness, settling over the terrain with a weight that makes the distant, shimmering expanse of Brookville Lake feel like a hidden, cooling secret tucked behind the timberline.

Palestine maintains a character forged by the steady persistence of agrarian life and the modest, brick-built legacy of its early settlers. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest, with the landscape dotted by the silhouettes of silos and the occasional weathered barn that serves as a quiet monument to generations of labor. Residents often find their way toward the Brookville Recreation Area for a respite from the work week, finding a different kind of order in the managed woods and open water. Though the pace of life in Palestine is measured by the slow turn of machinery and the school calendar, there is a distinct dignity in the way the community holds its ground, unbothered by the frantic pulse of the world beyond its borders.

About This Palestine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Palestine, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.417274, -84.927735. 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 Palestine includes the ZIP code (46539, 47012, 46580), telephone area code (317, 463, 260), county seat of Franklin County (Brookville), and school district assignment (Tippecanoe Valley 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.
