Big Hill is a small place located in the state of Indiana, in the United States. It's known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and people living together, but it doesn't have its own separate local government like a city or town would. Instead, it's part of a larger area called Rochester Township within Fulton County.

Where is Big Hill?

Big Hill is found in the northern part of Indiana. Its exact location is at coordinates 41 degrees, 2 minutes, 43 seconds North and 86 degrees, 11 minutes, 45 seconds West. This spot is about 883 feet (or 269 meters) above sea level.

Being an unincorporated community means that the services for Big Hill, like roads and public safety, are managed by Fulton County. This is different from a city, which would have its own mayor and city council.
