Explore West Terre Haute, 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 West Terre Haute, 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 Terre Haute.
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.

West Terre Haute occupies a flat, terrestrial expanse where the horizon stretches wide beneath an expansive Midwestern sky. It lies 1.9 miles west of Terre Haute, IN (from Terre Haute, IN: bearing 267°T), and is situated 4.6 miles south-southwest of Harrison. The landscape remains defined by its proximity to the calm waters of Izaak Walton Lake and the quiet drift of Sugar Creek, which winds through the local topography just a mile away. Dust motes dance in the amber light of late afternoon, settling over a mosaic of woodlots and cleared fields that mirror the seasonal shifts of the interior plains. Far to the distance, the faint silhouette of Indian Ridge serves as a reminder of the rugged terrain that exists well beyond these quiet, terrestrial borders.
West Terre Haute carries the weight of a history rooted in the grit of coal mining and the steady pulse of regional rail transit. The local economy, once tethered to the extraction of deep-earth resources, now finds its rhythm in the modest industry of the valley and the quiet persistence of those who call these streets home. Residents often gather at the local Unknown Park to catch the cooling breeze that moves across the open ground as evening approaches. The pace of life here is deliberate, marked by the sound of tires on asphalt and the occasional train whistle echoing off the distant horizon, grounding the spirit in a place that has long traded the frantic speed of modern life for the steady, reliable hum of the prairie.

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.
