How to Use This Poland, Indiana Map

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

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 Poland, Indiana

Poland is a locality in Clay County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 81. The population density is 67.8 people per km². Poland is located at 39.4442°N, 86.9508°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47868.

Poland remains a quiet confluence of earth and water, defined by the steady, unpretentious flow of the North Fork Jordan Creek as it carves a path through the limestone-rich soil of the Indiana interior. It lies 11.5 miles east-northeast of Clay, IN (from Clay, IN: bearing 63°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west-southwest of Cloverdale. To the east, the horizon is anchored by the muted, weathered silhouette of Indian Ridge, while the land between the creek and the higher ground gives way to the shadowed depressions of Owl Hollow. A few miles to the west, the dense, hardwood canopy of Owen-Putnam State Forest provides a dark, verdant contrast to the open fields, and the nearby waters of Cagles Mill Lake draw the light of the sky down into the heavy, clay-rich earth. At dusk, the atmosphere settles into a cool, blue stillness, the air carrying the scent of damp soil and the distant, rushing gravity of Lower Cataract Falls.

Poland grew from the hard labor of settlers who recognized the promise in these fertile basins and the timber-heavy slopes, building a way of life that has long leaned on the rhythms of agriculture and local industry. The economy here remains tethered to the land, an extension of the woodlots and the mosaic of crops that have sustained families for generations. While the pace of modern life hums elsewhere, Poland maintains a distinct, deliberate cadence, where the architecture of old barns and sturdy, brick-built structures reflects a history of persistence against the changing seasons. The presence of Cagles Mill Lake offers a sanctuary for those who appreciate the quietude of the landscape, ensuring that the character of the region remains rooted in its physical geography rather than the shifting trends of the outside world.

About This Poland Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Poland, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.44421, -86.950845. 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 Poland includes the ZIP code (47868), telephone area code (765), county seat of Clay County (Brazil), and school district assignment (Clay 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.
