Explore Troy, 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 Troy, 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 Troy.
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.

Troy sits at the edge of the Ohio River, where the slow, heavy water pushes against the bank in a perpetual, muddy crawl. It lies 7.6 miles west of Perry, IN (from Perry, IN: bearing 259°T), and is situated 3.4 miles north-northwest of Tell City. The landscape around Troy rises from the river’s margin into a mosaic of woodlot and farmland, where the light at dusk turns the high grass to a bruised, copper color. To the north, the rise of Lockner Ridge breaks the horizon, a silent, earthen anchor against the wide Indiana sky. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain folds into the quiet depression of Brushy Hollow, while the deeper timber of the Spencer County State Forest waits eight miles out, holding the cool, damp scent of decay and new growth. A few miles away, the surface of Fenn Haven Lake stays glass-still, reflecting the gray clouds that often drift over the low, rolling agricultural fields.
Troy carries the weight of a frontier history, defined long ago by the movement of goods and people along the current of the Ohio River. The economy here remains tied to the land and the river’s transit, a rhythm of labor that feels as slow as the seasons themselves. Families move through their days with a quiet, persistent industry, often gathering at Zoercher Bettinger Park to watch the light fade over the fields. There is a particular stillness in the air here, a sense that the pace of life is measured not by the clock, but by the turning of the soil and the rising of the river. In the small, brick-lined corners of Troy, the past persists in the weight of the buildings and the way the shadows stretch across the road, marking time in a place that has long since learned to be patient.

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.
