Explore Underwood, 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 Underwood, 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 Underwood.
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.

Underwood occupies a quiet intersection of Indiana soil, defined by the persistent, low-slung presence of the Underwood Drain as it cuts through the local topography. It lies 11.0 miles north-northwest of Clark, IN (from Clark, IN: bearing 346°T), and is situated 5.7 miles south of Scottsburg. This waterway carves a modest path through the landscape, acting as a functional spine for the fields that stretch toward the horizon. To the west, the elevation shifts toward Rock Knob, offering a singular point of verticality in an otherwise measured expanse of earth. The air here holds a particular weight at dusk, cooling rapidly as the light catches the tall grasses bordering the drain, turning the gray-green vegetation into a brittle, metallic shimmer. While the dense canopy of Clark State Forest lies just a mile away, providing a vast, protected woodland, the immediate surroundings remain dominated by the rhythmic, open geometry of agricultural plots and the steady, unadorned pulse of the plains.
History in Underwood persists through the remnants of a landscape once shaped by the labor of early transit and timber, leaving behind a character forged in the silence of the woodlot and the productivity of the soil. The economy remains tethered to this land, echoing the industrious spirit of the region where the proximity to Clark State Forest continues to influence the local appreciation for timber and resource management. Residents navigate life with a steady awareness of the nearby basins like Puppy Hollow, which collect the seasonal runoff and deepen the sense of a terrain governed by the movement of water. Even the stillness of Bowen Lake, situated a few miles off, reflects the quiet, understated nature of the locale, where the passage of time is measured not by grand events, but by the slow, deliberate change of the seasons across the fields.

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.
