How to Use This Saint Mary of the Woods, Indiana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Saint Mary of the Woods, 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 Saint Mary of the Woods.

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.

Saint Mary of the Woods emerges from a mosaic of dense hardwood canopies and open agricultural fields that define the quiet, inland landscape of the region. It lies 2.7 miles west-southwest of Harrison, IN (from Harrison, IN: bearing 243°T), and is situated 4.2 miles northwest of Terre Haute. The East Little Sugar Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the terrain, its waters feeding the quiet moisture that sustains the sprawling, ancient groves surrounding the grounds. Only a mile away, Saint Marys Lake reflects the heavy, golden light of late afternoon, its stillness a contrast to the occasional rustle of wildlife moving through the underbrush. While the distant, hazy silhouette of Indian Ridge haunts the far horizon on exceptionally clear days, the immediate environment remains defined by the deliberate, steady growth of timber and the rich, dark soil that characterizes this midwestern plateau.

Saint Mary of the Woods holds a distinct character shaped by its long-standing educational and spiritual heritage, which functions as the primary anchor for the local economy and social rhythm. The presence of historic architecture and the quiet, purposeful movement of students and faculty lend the grounds a gravity that transcends the simple seasonal cycles of the surrounding farmland. Beyond the immediate campus, the proximity of the Green Valley Public Fishing Area offers a modest, natural respite for those seeking the solitude of the woods. Life here moves with a measured, intentional pace, dictated less by the clamor of modern industry and more by the quiet maintenance of a landscape that has remained largely undisturbed by the rapid, frantic expansion seen in more crowded corridors of the state.

About This Saint Mary of the Woods Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Saint Mary of the Woods, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.510869, -87.467243. 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 Saint Mary of the Woods includes the ZIP code (47885, 47876), telephone area code (765), county seat of Vigo County (Terre Haute), and school district assignment.

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.
