Explore Stockwell, 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 Stockwell, 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 Stockwell.
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.

Stockwell emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Indiana plains, defined primarily by the slow, deliberate meander of Lauramie Creek as it carves a path through the dark, loamy soil. It lies 10.6 miles south-southeast of Lafayette, IN (from Lafayette, IN: bearing 149°T), and is situated 12.1 miles southeast of West Lafayette. The horizon remains vast and unencumbered, interrupted only by the vertical silhouettes of grain elevators and the occasional woodlot that breaks the rhythm of the surrounding corn and soybean fields. In the autumn, the light takes on a bruised, amber quality, casting long shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the western edge of the world. Far to the south, the distant, hazy suggestion of the Devils Backbone provides a singular variation in an otherwise level landscape, a reminder of the geologic shifts that shaped this quiet corner of the Midwest.
Stockwell carries the weight of a traditional agricultural heritage, its economy deeply rooted in the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest that dictates the pace of local life. While the quietude of the surrounding countryside suggests a slow existence, the proximity of Mar Len Park provides a necessary threshold where the structured order of the farm meets the untamed resilience of the local flora. Life here is measured in the steady turning of equipment and the infrequent passage of regional transit, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Though Oxidation Pond lies thirteen miles distant, its presence is rarely felt in the daily routine of those who call Stockwell home, as the focus remains fixed on the immediate, productive earth and the persistent, quiet flow of the local creek that has sustained this settlement since its inception.

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.
