How to Use This Ragsdale, Indiana Map

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

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 Ragsdale, Indiana

Ragsdale exists as a quiet coordinate of earth and sky, where the horizon stretches flat and wide across the Indiana plains. It lies 10.2 miles northwest of Washington, IN (from Washington, IN: bearing 306°T), and is situated 2.2 miles south-southwest of Bicknell. The land here holds the stillness of an inland shelf, punctuated by the slow, deliberate movement of Indian Creek as it traces a path through the silt just a mile from the center. To the west, the subtle rise of the Beech Hills creates a soft, hazy boundary against the evening light, while the open expanse of Mills Prairie draws the eye toward a distant, treeless openness. At the edge of the residential grid, City Lake catches the amber glow of a setting sun, acting as a mirror for the cottonwood trees that lean toward the water’s edge. The air carries the scent of turned soil and distant rain, a dry, honest atmosphere that settles over the fields and defines the rhythm of the day.

Ragsdale maintains a steady, unremarkable pace, tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the persistent labor of the surrounding farmland. The local economy remains anchored to the soil, reflecting a history of agrarian persistence that has quietly shaped the character of the people who reside here. Beyond the reach of the Bicknell Country Club, where the manicured green provides a sharp contrast to the wilder growth of the Greene-Sullivan State Forest further out, the life of the place is measured in the maintenance of fences and the steady transit of grain trucks. There is no urgency in the way the local streets intersect, only a functional, pragmatic architecture that prioritizes work and family above all else. Ragsdale remains a place of deep, grounded shadows, where the collective memory of the region is kept in the simple, sturdy structures that have withstood the changing seasons for generations.

About This Ragsdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ragsdale, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.74588, -87.325016. 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 Ragsdale includes the ZIP code (47512, 47573), telephone area code (812), county seat of Knox County (Vincennes), and school district assignment (North Knox 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.
