How to Use This Speed, Indiana Map

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

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.

Speed manifests as a quiet, industrial plateau where the earth holds the heavy, gray promise of limestone and the persistent, low-slung hum of production. The Muddy Fork carves a shallow, wandering path through the local topography, its banks often slick with the silt of the region, while the distant, jagged silhouette of the Devils Backbone provides a rugged horizon that anchors the eye against the vast, open sky. In the cool transitions of the day, light catches the fine, pale dust that settles over the landscape, blurring the edges of the woodlots and the open fields. Residents find a modest refuge within Speed Park, where the manicured green space offers a crisp contrast to the hard-edged character of the surrounding terrain.

Commerce in Speed has long been tethered to the bedrock itself, defined by the extraction and refinement of stone that built much of the regional infrastructure. This history of industry pulses through the daily rhythm of the streets, where the weight of heavy machinery and the steady movement of freight trucks dictate the tempo of the morning. Beyond the immediate reach of the facilities, the land softens into a mosaic of farmland, occasionally interrupted by the stillness of Silver Lakes or the distant, rushing memory of the Falls of the Ohio. Life here maintains a deliberate, pragmatic pace, shaped by a legacy of manual labor and the enduring, solid presence of the geology that keeps Speed firmly pinned to the Indiana plains.

About This Speed Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Speed, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.412288, -85.752464. 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 Speed includes the ZIP code (47172), telephone area code (317), county seat of Clark County (Jeffersonville), 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.
