Explore Winfield, 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 Winfield, 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 Winfield.
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.

Winfield anchors a quiet expanse of the Midwest where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a pale, expansive sky. It lies 4.7 miles east of Crown Point, IN (from Crown Point, IN: bearing 100°T), and is situated 6.0 miles south-southeast of Lake. The landscape surrounding Winfield consists of fertile plains and modest woodlots that catch the long, golden shadows of the late afternoon. Deer Creek winds its way through the local terrain, providing a slow, steady pulse to the land just a mile from the center of activity. To the north, the distant outline of Stony Island Ridge lingers on the edge of sight, a faint reminder of the geological variety that lies further afield. Residents often spend their leisure hours at Trees Park, enjoying the quiet shelter of the trees that define the local canopy.
Winfield traces its roots to the steady expansion of agrarian life, where the rhythm of the seasons long dictated the pace of development. The local economy has transitioned from its early reliance on the soil to a modern blend of residential growth and regional commerce. Small businesses and service providers now form the backbone of the local trade, supporting the families who have made their lives in this corner of the state. While the heavy industrial hum of the broader region remains audible in the distance, Winfield maintains a distinct focus on its own steady, internal development. The transition from field to foundation continues to shape the physical expansion of the local streets and neighborhoods.
People in Winfield carry a sense of independence, valuing the quietude that comes with living away from the intense congestion of the nearby metropolitan centers. Lake Holiday serves as a local point of convergence, offering a place for reflection and the simple observation of water moving against the shore. The community gathers for seasonal festivals and school-centered events that define the social calendar and provide a recurring sense of continuity. No figures of national celebrity define the local history, allowing the character of the place to be determined entirely by the people who live and work here day to day. Life in Winfield remains unpretentious, defined by the practical habits of neighbors who appreciate the uncomplicated nature of their surroundings.

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.
