How to Use This Pleasant View, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pleasant View, 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 Pleasant View.
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 Pleasant View, Indiana
Pleasant View is a locality in Shelby County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 611. The population density is 539.0 people per km². Pleasant View is located at 39.9775°N, 85.9800°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP codes: 46038, 46259.Pleasant View persists as a quiet intersection of flat, dark-soiled fields and the steady, low-slung rhythm of the Indiana plains. It lies 8.9 miles east-southeast of Beech Grove, IN (from Beech Grove, IN: bearing 117°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east-northeast of Greenwood. View Creek carves a narrow, sluggish path through the landscape, its banks lined with the tangled roots of sycamores that drink deep from the limestone-heavy earth. To the far horizon, the faint, hazy suggestion of Pea Ridge rises against the dusk, while the dark, dense thickets of Swain Memorial Forest hem in the eastern sky. The air here holds the scent of drying corn husks and turned soil, a stillness that settles over the land as the sun dips behind the silos, turning the expansive, open horizon into a bruised shade of violet.
Pleasant View grew from the stubborn persistence of settlers who broke the prairie sod, turning a wilderness of tall grasses into the grid of farms that still defines the local economy. The rhythms of the day remain tethered to the harvest cycles and the modest commerce of the crossroads, where the legacy of early agrarian industry persists in the weathered grain elevators. Residents frequently find respite in the nearby trails of Southeastway Park, or seek the cooling, reflective stillness of the water at Wagon Wheel Lake. Despite the encroaching modern sprawl, Pleasant View retains a singular, unadorned character, marked by the simple geometry of brick storefronts and the distant, rhythmic hum of machinery echoing across the wide, level fields.

About This Pleasant View Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pleasant View, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.9775, -85.98. 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 Pleasant View includes the ZIP code (46038, 46259), telephone area code (260), county seat of Shelby County (Shelbyville), and school district assignment (Northwestern Consolidated 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.
