How to Use This Staunton, Indiana Map

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

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.

Staunton occupies a quiet reach of the Indiana landscape, where the horizon stretches across a mosaic of flat farmland and small, dense woodlots. It lies 8.6 miles north-northwest of Clay, IN (from Clay, IN: bearing 343°T), and is situated 4.2 miles southwest of Brazil. The earth here holds a deep, dark weight, and when the sun slips low, the amber light catches the dust rising from gravel roads that cut straight lines through the fields. Just a mile away, the narrow, winding course of Purdy Run slices through the terrain, its banks lined with sycamores that lean toward the water as if listening for the wind. Beyond the immediate fields, the land toward the horizon remains wide and open, though the distant silhouette of Indian Ridge provides a faint, hazy boundary against the sky, grounding the expanse in a sense of geological permanence.

Staunton carries the quiet rhythm of a place shaped by its long connection to the soil and the legacy of the regional coal industry that once defined the surrounding labor. While the modern economy has shifted, the legacy of those extraction days lingers in the physical scars of the land, now softened by the reclamation efforts found in places like the nearby Chinook Fish And Wildlife Area. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, where the primary concerns are the yield of the corn and the shifting patterns of the clouds. On summer evenings, the air carries a stillness that feels heavy and expectant, particularly when the light fades over the fields toward Izaak Walton Lake, leaving the landscape to settle into a cool, blue silence that defines the character of the region.

About This Staunton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Staunton, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.48754, -87.188905. 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 Staunton includes the ZIP code (47881), telephone area code (765), county seat of Clay County (Brazil), and school district assignment (Clay Community Schools).

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.
