Explore Perry, Indiana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Perry, 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 Perry.
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.

Perry occupies a quiet expanse of land where the persistent flow of Deer Creek defines the immediate horizon. It lies 29.8 miles south-southeast of Jasper, IN (from Jasper, IN: bearing 150°T), and is situated 7.3 miles northeast of Tell City. The landscape surrounding Perry unfolds as a mosaic of farmland and dense woodlots that shift in color with the turning seasons. Travelers passing through Bolin Hollow often note how the light catches the low-hanging mist, clinging to the earth long after the morning sun has begun its climb. Just three miles away, the surface of Saddle Lake offers a mirror for the changing sky, undisturbed by the rush of modern transit. The proximity of Hoosier National Forest provides a verdant backdrop, ensuring that the air remains crisp and scented with the resin of pine and damp soil.
Early settlers were drawn to Perry by the promise of fertile ground and the utility of the nearby waterways for basic milling operations. Agriculture remains the steady pulse of the local economy, with family-owned farms contributing to the regional yield of grain and livestock. Over the decades, small-scale manufacturing has integrated with these agrarian roots, providing a modest but consistent industrial base for those who call the area home. The rhythm of work here is dictated by the seasons, moving from the urgency of spring planting to the methodical harvest of autumn crops. Residents of Perry maintain a pragmatic approach to commerce, valuing the stability that comes from working the land and supporting local trade.
Cultural identity in Perry is shaped by a tradition of neighborly reliance and a shared appreciation for the quietude of the Midwestern plains. The social life of the residents centers on the local school calendar and the seasonal gatherings that bring people together in the shadow of the brick buildings that anchor the center of the district. While no singular monument dominates the skyline, the presence of Bills Point serves as a natural landmark for those navigating the undulating terrain. A profound sense of endurance characterizes the populace, who find contentment in the simplicity of a life lived close to the cycles of the natural world. Perry persists as a place where the passage of time is marked not by grand spectacles, but by the slow, reliable growth of the woods and the steady flow of the creek.

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.
