How to Use This Beaverdale, Iowa Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Beaverdale, Iowa. 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 Iowa 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 Beaverdale.

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.

Beaverdale maintains a distinct presence amidst the expansive, tilled horizon of the Iowa plains, where the earth stretches out in a rhythmic succession of fertile fields and heavy, dark soil. It lies 5.7 miles west-northwest of Burlington, IA (from Burlington, IA: bearing 298°T), and is situated 3.1 miles west-northwest of West Burlington. The landscape surrounding Beaverdale is defined by a gentle topographical modesty, punctuated by the quiet flow of Little Flint Creek just a mile to the east and the still, reflective surface of West Lake resting three miles away. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, catching the edges of the prairie grasses and the dense, sheltered pockets of vegetation that thrive in the Kevin J. Gahn Wildlife Refuge nearby. On clear evenings, the distant silhouette of Gittings Mound provides a faint, singular anchor to the western skyline, grounding the vastness of the plains beneath a sky that feels immense and unobstructed.

The architecture of Beaverdale reflects a history of mid-century development, characterized by sturdy brick facades and the enduring craftsmanship of a neighborhood built to last. Economic life persists with the quiet industriousness of the region, where the influence of agricultural cycles and local enterprise shapes the daily pace of its residents. While Beaverdale remains distinct from the academic intensity found in larger university hubs, it shares in the regional appreciation for a literate and measured way of life. The character of the place is found in the deliberate maintenance of its physical heritage, where the intersection of long-standing residential streets and the modest, utilitarian beauty of the surrounding farmland creates an atmosphere of stability and unpretentious grace.

About This Beaverdale Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Beaverdale, Iowa. Coordinates: 40.846705, -91.208482. 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 Beaverdale includes the ZIP code (52655), telephone area code (712), county seat of Des Moines County (Burlington), and school district assignment (Burlington Community School District).

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.
