Explore Russellville, Indiana, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Russellville, 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 Russellville.
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.

Russellville emerges from the quiet, verdant expanse of the Indiana interior, defined by the deliberate, slow-moving passage of the South Fork Little Raccoon Creek. It lies 13.8 miles northeast of Parke, IN (from Parke, IN: bearing 37°T), and is situated 14.4 miles northwest of Putnam. The landscape here is a mosaic of fertile soil and woodlots, where the horizons are flattened by the weight of ancient, productive farmland. To the distant east, the silhouette of Devils Backbone rises as a dark interruption against the sky, while the local climate carries the deep, earthy scent of turned soil and rain-heavy winds. The quality of light during the late afternoon turns the fields to a muted copper, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the flat, unpretentious geometry of the regional topography.
Russellville maintains a quiet, steady pulse, rooted in an economy that has long honored the cycles of the harvest and the persistence of local trade. While the nearby Cecil M. Harden Recreation Area and the waters of Lake Waveland offer a reprieve for those seeking the stillness of the woods, the daily life of Russellville remains anchored to the rhythms of the seasons and the maintenance of its sturdy, brick-fronted buildings. The residents move with a patient, practiced economy, reflecting a history shaped by the labor of clearing timber and the slow expansion of rail and road. Even as the years accumulate, there is a particular dignity in the way the morning mist clings to the creek banks, signaling a place that values the substance of its land over the frantic pace of the outside world.

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.
