How to Use This Pleasantville, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pleasantville, 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 Pleasantville.
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 Pleasantville, Indiana
Pleasantville is a locality in Jackson County, Indiana, United States. Pleasantville is located at 38.8634°N, 86.2053°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP codes: 47260, 47838.Pleasantville emerges from the Indiana landscape as a quiet intersection of limestone-dusted soil and the persistent, low-slung meander of Dry Creek. It lies 10.4 miles east of Crawford, IN (from Crawford, IN: bearing 83°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west of Brownstown. The horizon is defined by the uneven silhouette of Ditney Ridge, which casts long, indigo shadows across the patchwork of grain fields and woodlots as the afternoon light wanes into a deep, amber glow. To the east, the terrain dips into the secluded basin of Shelton Hollow, where the air hangs heavy and cool, thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying oak leaves. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the Jackson-Washington State Forest provides a dense, verdant backdrop that marks the boundary between the cultivated grid of the plains and the untamed, rugged timberland that characterizes this portion of the state.
Pleasantville retains the deliberate, measured pace of a place built upon the steady productivity of the soil and the legacy of the regional timber trade. While the local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, the proximity of the Jackson-Washington State Forest offers a reprieve from the labor of the fields, drawing those who seek the solitude of the deep woods or the quiet waters of Starve Hollow Lake. Life here unfolds with a certain predictable grace, marked by the changing colors of the canopy and the seasonal turn of the agricultural calendar. Even as the modern world encroaches, Pleasantville preserves a distinct sense of stillness, grounded by the steady flow of Dry Creek and the silent, enduring presence of the surrounding ridges.

About This Pleasantville Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pleasantville, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.863386, -86.205262. 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 Pleasantville includes the ZIP code (47260, 47838), telephone area code (317, 765), county seat of Jackson County (Brownstown), and school district assignment (Northeast 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.
