Explore Taylorsville, 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 Taylorsville, 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 Taylorsville.
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.

Taylorsville emerges from the flat, fertile midwestern horizon as a quiet collection of rooftops and silos anchored firmly in the soil. It lies 6.7 miles north-northwest of Columbus, IN (from Columbus, IN: bearing 346°T), and is situated 7.0 miles north-northwest of Bartholomew. The Big Slough flows with a slow, deliberate gravity just past the edge of the grid, its presence felt in the humid, heavy air that settles over the fields after a summer rain. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the terrain stretches out in a mosaic of woodlots and open cropland, where the quality of light at dusk turns the dusty gray of the gravel roads into a soft, bruised violet. A mile to the west, the trees of Heflin Park offer a dense, green refuge, while eight miles to the north, Guffy Hill rises as a singular, modest punctuation mark against the otherwise level sky.
Taylorsville maintains a character defined by the steady, cyclical labor of the land, an economy that has long been tethered to the rhythm of the harvest and the movement of goods through the interior. History here is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of the local architecture and the persistent, quiet trade that keeps the storefronts occupied. Those seeking a different kind of stillness often look toward Crystal Lake, a short distance away, where the water catches the high, pale sun of the afternoon. Life in Taylorsville proceeds without fanfare, guided by the changing seasons and the simple, reliable patterns of the people who work the surrounding ground, finding a modest beauty in the way the shadows lengthen across the corn stubble as the day retreats.

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.
