How to Use This Sullivan, Indiana Map

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

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.

Sullivan occupies a wide expanse of the Indiana interior, where the horizon stretches flat and heavy under a vault of immense, shifting clouds. It lies 15.0 miles south-southeast of Vigo, IN (from Vigo, IN: bearing 152°T), and is situated 13.6 miles east-southeast of York. The landscape surrounding Sullivan unfolds in a quiet mosaic of dark soil and woodlots, marked by the proximity of the gentle flow of Buck Creek and the stillness of Lake Sullivan. To the east, the distant, hazy silhouette of Persimmon Ridge punctuates the skyline, a faint reminder of the geological theater that shaped the region long before the first plows turned the earth. In the soft light of late afternoon, the flat expanse of Curry Prairie catches a golden, amber glow, grounding the senses in a geography that demands patience and rewards the observant traveler with the subtle grace of Midwestern plains.

Generations of labor have defined the character of Sullivan, where the legacy of coal extraction and the steady rhythm of agriculture persist in the brick facades of the downtown square. Life here centers on the local pace of Civic Center Park, a space that serves as a common ground for residents navigating the transition from the industrial heritage of the past to the modern demands of a rural economy. Nearby, the managed wildness of the Greene-Sullivan State Forest offers a reprieve of dense timber and reclaimed land, bridging the gap between the town’s industrious history and the natural endurance of the land itself. The atmosphere remains defined by a certain practical stoicism, where the echo of a high school basketball game on a Friday night holds as much weight as the seasonal cycles of the corn and soybean harvests.

About This Sullivan Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sullivan, Indiana. Coordinates: 39.09532, -87.405852. 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 Sullivan includes the ZIP code (47882), telephone area code (765), county seat of Sullivan County (Sullivan), and school district assignment (Southwest School Corporation).

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.
