How to Use This West Middleton, Indiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for West Middleton, 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 West Middleton.
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.

About West Middleton, Indiana
West Middleton is a locality in Howard County, Indiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 185. The population density is 178.4 people per km². West Middleton is located at 40.4395°N, 86.2161°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) timezone. ZIP codes: 46979, 46995.West Middleton occupies a flat, expansive plateau where the horizon stretches wide under a vast, unencumbered sky. It lies 5.4 miles southwest of Kokomo, IN (from Kokomo, IN: bearing 233°T), and is situated 18.4 miles east-southeast of Carroll. The Butler Ditch carves a quiet, purposeful path through the surrounding fields, its narrow channel acting as a modest artery for the heavy, dark soil that defines the local geology. During the late afternoon, the light here possesses a particular quality, turning the harvest-ready stalks into rows of burnished copper that shimmer against the gray, temperate atmosphere. To the far horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of The Hogback provides a distant anchor for the eyes, while the nearby land remains a steady, rhythmic expanse of woodlots and cultivated earth.
West Middleton maintains an economy deeply rooted in the endurance of the prairie, where the labor of the seasons dictates the pace of the calendar. The local character is tempered by the quiet industry of the plains, a place where the proximity of Players Golf World offers a brief, manicured contrast to the functional honesty of the surrounding landscape. Residents move through their days with a steady gravity, occasionally traveling the few miles toward Kokomo Waterworks Reservoir Number Two when the heat of midsummer settles over the plains. The history of West Middleton is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring maintenance of these fields and the persistent, low-slung architecture that shelters its people against the turn of the seasons.

About This West Middleton Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Middleton, Indiana. Coordinates: 40.439482, -86.216106. 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 West Middleton includes the ZIP code (46979, 46995), telephone area code (574), county seat of Howard County (Kokomo), and school district assignment (Western 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.
