How to Use This Roanoke, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Roanoke, 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 Roanoke.
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 Roanoke, Indiana
Roanoke is a locality in Huntington County, Indiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,762. The population density is 565.5 people per km². Roanoke is located at 40.9625°N, 85.3733°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. Roanoke is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 46783.Roanoke occupies a quiet expanse of the Midwestern interior, where the land flattens into a persistent, fertile mosaic of woodlots and heavy, dark-soiled fields. It lies 8.5 miles northeast of Huntington, IN (from Huntington, IN: bearing 50°T), and is situated 18.8 miles south-southwest of Allen. The McPherren Ditch carves a deliberate, low-lying path through the terrain, its waters guiding the eye across the horizon toward the faint, irregular silhouette of The Hogback rising in the distance. Within the immediate perimeter of the landscape, the air holds a stillness that lingers over the grass of Roanoke Town Park, where the light at dusk turns the color of pale honey, clinging to the brick faces of older structures. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain remains steadfastly inland, removed from the reach of any maritime influence and defined instead by the steady, unmoving weight of the continental plains.
Roanoke emerged from the expansion of the nineteenth-century canal era, a legacy still legible in the deliberate lines of its central thoroughfares and the industrious spirit of its local commerce. The economy reflects a long-standing commitment to regional agriculture and refined manufacturing, providing a stable, measured rhythm to the daily work of its inhabitants. Residents occasionally venture three miles to the shores of Timber Lake for quiet recreation, or travel twenty miles to find the deeper, shaded silence of Salamonie River State Forest. Life in Roanoke moves with a focused, deliberate pace, anchored by a collective awareness of the surrounding fields and the enduring utility of the land that has supported generations of families.

About This Roanoke Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Roanoke, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.962547, -85.373308. 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 Roanoke includes the ZIP code (46783), telephone area code (574), county seat of Huntington County (Huntington), and school district assignment (Huntington County Community 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.
