    South Bend is located 5 miles (8 km) from the Michigan border, approximately equidistant from Illinois and Ohio. The city is 93 miles (150 km) driving distance from Chicago. The nearest shore of Lake Michigan is 20 miles (32 km) away. The cities coordinates are (41.672597, -86.255157).

    The St. Joseph River (Lake Michigan)St. Joseph River flows from the east end of the city turning north near the city center, giving South Bend its name because it is at the south bend of the river. Since South Bend sits on the North-South continental divide, the river flows north into Lake Michigan.

    According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 101.3 km sq (39.1 square miles). 100.2 km sq (38.7 mi sq) of it is land and 1.1 km sq (0.4 mi sq) of it (1.10%) is water.
