How to Use This Patriot, Indiana Map

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

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.

Patriot occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth settles into a slow, deliberate cadence defined by the persistent flow of Wade Creek. It lies 12.8 miles east of Switzerland, IN (from Switzerland, IN: bearing 91°T), and is situated 7.8 miles south of Rising Sun. The landscape here is defined by the heavy, fertile soil of the Egypt Bottom just a few miles off, while the looming presence of Searcy Ridge provides a dark, serrated horizon against the afternoon sky. Sunlight tends to linger in the valleys, turning the fields into pools of amber and bronze as the day wanes, casting long, sharp shadows across the woodlot mosaic that defines the local terrain. While Bullock Pen Lake sits ten miles away, the immediate surroundings remain governed by the rhythm of the damp, inland earth and the shifting moods of the local canopy.

Patriot remains a place where the weight of nineteenth-century ambitions still lingers in the architecture of the older buildings, standing as silent witnesses to an era when the regional economy turned on the movement of goods through the interior. Though the industry has shifted away from its earliest roots, the local character retains a stubborn, industrious persistence, favoring the steady work of the farm and the woodlot over the frantic pace of the outside world. Visitors often find their way toward Big Bone Landing, where the land opens up to reveal a quiet expanse of preserved wilderness that speaks to the deeper, older history of the region. Life in Patriot moves with the gravity of the seasons, marked by the turning of the crops and the cooling air that drifts down from the ridge, keeping the spirit of the place grounded in the simple, uncompromising reality of the Indiana soil.

About This Patriot Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Patriot, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.838674, -84.826892. 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 Patriot includes the ZIP code (47038), telephone area code (317, 463), county seat of Switzerland County (Vevay), and school district assignment (Switzerland County 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.
