Explore Spurgeon, 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 Spurgeon, 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 Spurgeon.
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.

Spurgeon occupies a low-slung stretch of land where the horizon is defined by the steady, measured geometry of woodlots and open fields. It lies 12.3 miles north of Warrick, IN (from Warrick, IN: bearing 1°T), and is situated 7.6 miles southeast of Oakland City. Rough Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth nearby, its dark water reflecting the bruised violet light of late afternoon as it pushes past the periphery of the village. To the east, the silhouette of Dyson Knob rises with a quiet, stubborn permanence against the sky, while the deep, artificial basins of the Hoskins Pits serve as a somber reminder of the industrial weight once pressed into this soil. The air here holds a thin, metallic clarity, and the silence of the surrounding plains is broken only by the dry rustle of cornstalks or the distant, rhythmic hum of a passing truck on a state road.
Spurgeon carries the legacy of a landscape long worked for its hidden seams, a history etched into the very topography of the region. The economy has shifted away from the intensive extraction that once defined the local labor, yet the imprint of those years remains in the rugged, reclaimed terrain of the Sugar Ridge Fish And Wildlife Area. Visitors who drift toward the water find a different sort of stillness at Augusta Lake, where the surface remains undisturbed by the frantic pace of larger, more crowded places. Life in Spurgeon moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, where the residents exist in a quiet dialogue with the land, watching the seasons turn over the fallow ground and the hardwood stands of Pike State Forest.

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.
