How to Use This Taswell, Indiana Map

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

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.

Taswell manifests as a quiet intersection of limestone-streaked earth and hardwood timber, holding its place firmly amidst the rugged interior of the state. It lies 20.4 miles east of Jasper, IN (from Jasper, IN: bearing 101°T), and is situated 16.1 miles south-southwest of Paoli. The land surrounding Taswell is defined by the deep, shaded fissures of the Yellow Birch Ravine Nature Preserve Addition, where the damp, cool air clings to the mossy limestone of the earth. To the east, the horizon is broken by the silhouette of Tick Ridge, a constant, weathered presence against the bruising violet of a late autumn sky. Sycamore Creek cuts a narrow, winding path through the soil just a mile away, its flow dictated by the seasonal rains that swell the local hollows. Two miles beyond the center, the expanse of Patoka Lake offers a silent, wide-reaching basin of water, while the nearby Golden Hollow holds the remnants of heavy morning fog that lingers long after the sun has climbed above the canopy.

Taswell grew from the hard necessity of the timber and rail industries, bearing the marks of a time when the extraction of local resources defined the pulse of the region. The economy here has long been tethered to the slow, deliberate output of the forest and the small-scale cultivation of the surrounding woodlot mosaic. Life in Taswell moves with the gravity of a place that has seen the iron of the tracks go cold, leaving behind a stillness that settles over the brickwork and the weathered siding of older structures. The proximity of the Ferdinand State Forest serves as a reminder of the vast, timbered expanse that once dictated the survival of those who first cleared this ground. Today, the pace is set by the transition of the seasons, with the inhabitants navigating a landscape that demands a patient, observant relationship with the earth and the heavy, quiet humidity of the inland summer.

About This Taswell Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Taswell, Indiana. Coordinates: 38.334225, -86.561097. 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 Taswell includes the ZIP code (47175), telephone area code (317), county seat of Crawford County (English), and school district assignment (Crawford County Community 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.
