Explore Sulphur, 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 Sulphur, 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 Sulphur.
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.

Sulphur exists where the persistent current of the Little Blue River carves a deep, quiet passage through the limestone bedrock of the Indiana uplands. It lies 17.9 miles northeast of Perry, IN (from Perry, IN: bearing 35°T), and is situated 19.0 miles west of Corydon. The landscape surrounding Sulphur is defined by dense, tangled timber and the shadowed recesses of Happy Hollow, where the moisture clings to the mossy limestone until well past midday. To the west, the elevation climbs toward the quiet prominence of Seton Knob, while the terrain integrates seamlessly into the sprawling, managed canopy of the Hoosier National Forest. The light here filters through a thick mosaic of oak and hickory, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the valley floor as the sun dips behind the ridges.
Sulphur maintains a sparse, deliberate pace, rooted in the legacy of early settlers who recognized the utility of the nearby mineral springs and the fertile bottomlands along the river. The local economy persists as a quiet oscillation between small-scale agriculture and the stewardship of the surrounding timber, far removed from the frantic commerce of the state’s larger hubs. Residents move with the caution of those accustomed to the topography’s steep grades and the sudden, seasonal swelling of the creek beds. A traveler seeking the stillness of the interior might find it in the quietude of a late autumn afternoon, where the only movement is the slow drift of leaves toward the Little Blue River and the distant, cooling air drifting from the direction of Spring Lake.

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.
