How to Use This Pierceville, Indiana Map

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

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.

Pierceville emerges from the flat, stubborn expanse of the Indiana landscape as a quiet confluence of woodlot and worked soil. It lies 10.5 miles west-southwest of Dearborn, IN (from Dearborn, IN: bearing 257°T), and is situated 5.7 miles northeast of Versailles. Castators Creek carves a thin, reflective artery through the perimeter, its current dictating the slow drainage of the surrounding fields toward the horizon. Three miles to the east, the stillness of Paradise Lake mirrors the shifting gray of the sky, while the faint, hazy silhouette of Hogback Hill marks the limit of the visible world six miles away. The air here holds a particular weight, smelling of damp earth and the cooling metal of machinery, especially when the afternoon sun catches the dust motes dancing above the fallow furrows.

Farmers in Pierceville maintain a rhythm dictated by the seasons, an economy rooted in the heavy, dark silt that defines the productivity of the region. Historical remnants of the area’s growth are visible in the weathered foundations and the enduring brickwork of older structures that stand firm against the relentless wind. Residents often find their way to the trails of Versailles State Park, where the dense timber provides a necessary counterpoint to the open, exposed geometry of the agricultural grid. Life moves with a deliberate, unadorned precision, shaped by the proximity of Johnson Hollow and the persistent, quiet labor required to sustain a life amidst the vast, interior plains.

About This Pierceville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pierceville, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.133387, -85.179681. 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 Pierceville includes the ZIP code (47031, 47039), telephone area code (317, 463), county seat of Ripley County (Versailles), and school district assignment (Milan Community Schools).

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.
