Explore Sharpsville, 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 Sharpsville, 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 Sharpsville.
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.

Sharpsville anchors itself firmly amidst the flat, expansive horizon of the Indiana plains, where the horizon feels wide enough to swallow the setting sun whole. It lies 7.8 miles south-southeast of Kokomo, IN (from Kokomo, IN: bearing 162°T), and is situated 7.2 miles north-northwest of Tipton. Mud Creek carves a quiet, meandering path through the earth nearby, its dark waters providing a subtle contrast to the rigorous geometry of the surrounding fields. The air here carries the scent of damp loam and turned soil, a sensory reminder of the agrarian life that defines the local topography. Beyond the immediate reach of the horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of The Hogback occasionally haunts the western sky, a reminder of the rugged elevations that exist far outside this flatter, singular domain. During the late autumn, the light takes on a bruised, golden quality, illuminating the stalks of harvested corn until the landscape glows with the muted intensity of an old oil painting.
Sharpsville preserves the quiet persistence of its nineteenth-century origins, maintaining a pace dictated more by the seasonal cycles of planting and harvest than by the frantic pulse of the outside world. The local economy remains tethered to these fertile stretches of land, where the labor of generations has smoothed the earth into a productive, predictable grid. Residents often look toward the nearby Kirkendall Fish And Wildlife Area for a respite of wilder, uncultivated growth, finding a necessary balance to the structured fields that dominate the view. While the proximity of Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two offers a different sort of stillness, the character of the place remains rooted in the brick-and-mortar legacy of its early settlers. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate gravity, defined by the sound of wind rustling through the woodlots and the simple, enduring architecture of a place that values its own quiet consistency above all else.

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.
