How to Use This Moline, Illinois Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Moline, Illinois. 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 Illinois 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 Moline.

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.

Those seeking a longer path through the scenery can follow the Riverfront Trail, which winds for three miles through the local environment. Even Lake Potter, located four miles from the center, adds a reflective stillness to the surrounding geography.

Industry has long defined the character of Moline, rooted deeply in the history of agricultural innovation and heavy manufacturing. The arrival of large-scale mechanical production transformed the region, turning a quiet settlement into a vital hub for global farm equipment engineering. Moline grew through the ingenuity of those who understood the potential of the prairie soil and the necessity of durable tools to harvest it. Today, the economy continues to pivot around these industrial legacies, maintaining a rhythm dictated by the steady output of iron and steel. Local workers carry on a tradition of craftsmanship that has sustained the regional livelihood for generations. This persistent focus on production gives the daily life in Moline a grounded, industrious quality that remains visible in the architecture of its older workshops and modern offices.

Cultural life in Moline reflects the hardworking spirit of the upper Midwest, where community identity is forged through shared labor and local pride. Notable landmarks like the historic Deere-Wiman House stand as reminders of the families who helped shape the industrial landscape.

During the warmer months, community events and gatherings draw people together, filling the public squares with a sense of collective purpose.

About This Moline Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Moline, Illinois. Coordinates: 41.482333, -90.493407. 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 Moline includes the ZIP code (61265, 61266), telephone area code (847, 224), county seat of Rock Island County (Rock Island), and school district assignment (Moline-Coal Valley School District 40).

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.
