How to Use This Rob Roy, Indiana Map

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

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 Rob Roy, Indiana

Rob Roy is a locality in Fountain County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 177. The population density is 46.9 people per km². Rob Roy is located at 40.2367°N, 87.2433°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP code: 47918.

Rob Roy emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana prairie as a quiet collection of structures defined by the persistent presence of Little Shawnee Creek. It lies 5.0 miles east-northeast of Fountain, IN (from Fountain, IN: bearing 78°T), and is situated 4.0 miles south of Attica. This waterway cuts a deliberate path through the landscape, its slow, dark currents serving as a constant companion to the fields that stretch toward the horizon in every direction. The atmosphere here takes on a particular weight as the sun begins to dip, casting a long, amber glow that flattens the shadows of the surrounding woodlots and grain silos. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Devils Backbone provides a singular break in the skyline, a reminder of the rugged terrain that exists far beyond these level, working lands.

Rob Roy maintains an identity forged in the steady labor of the soil, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest that dictate the rhythm of the year. While the reach of the modern world encroaches, the local character retains a spare, pragmatic quality, evidenced by the quiet paths leading toward the nearby expanse of Happy Walter Field or the reflective, still waters of Shawnee Lake. History remains etched in the modest architecture of the region, which feels less like a monument to the past and more like a functional response to the demands of the basin, particularly as one looks toward the low-lying shadows of Rattlesnake Hollow. Life here moves with a certain gravity, marked by the persistent, unadorned beauty of a horizon that never asks for attention but commands it nonetheless.

About This Rob Roy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Rob Roy, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.236704, -87.243342. 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 Rob Roy includes the ZIP code (47918), telephone area code (765), county seat of Fountain County (Covington), and school district assignment (Attica 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.
