Explore Bettendorf, Iowa, 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 Bettendorf, 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 Bettendorf.
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.

Bettendorf rises from the banks of the Mississippi River, where the water moves with a heavy, deliberate strength through the heart of the landscape. It lies 3.2 miles east of Davenport, IA (from Davenport, IA: bearing 89°T), and is situated 1.2 miles north of Moline. The surrounding terrain consists of expansive, fertile plains that stretch toward the horizon, punctuated by the occasional rise of land that hints at the ancient geology of the region. Residents often watch the light change over the water at dusk, turning the surface into a sheet of hammered copper before the evening cools. While Lake Potter sits five miles away, the primary rhythm of the environment is dictated by the steady flow of the river moving past the shoreline. The soil here is deep and dark, a testament to the prairie roots that define the wider Iowa landscape.
Bettendorf maintains a steady pace of industry that reflects a long history of labor and ingenuity. The economy has transitioned from its early agricultural foundations into a diverse mix of manufacturing and modern professional services that support the daily needs of its residents. Much of the local vitality stems from the efficient use of the land, with the nearby fields consistently yielding harvests of corn and soybeans. The area retains a sense of practical purpose, where the work of the day is valued as much as the quiet stillness of the afternoon. People here recognize the importance of keeping their infrastructure sound, ensuring that the local commerce remains as reliable as the changing seasons.
Bettendorf fosters a culture of literate civility, where the quiet pride of the community is visible in the well-maintained public spaces. Leach Park serves as a central gathering point, offering a place to walk and observe the river without the distraction of urban noise. For those seeking longer excursions, the Riverfront Trail provides a path that follows the water, allowing travelers to experience the scale of the valley on foot or by bicycle. The region has produced notable figures like the professional golfer Zach Johnson, who reflects the disciplined and unassuming character often found in these parts. Life here moves with an unpretentious grace, defined by the people who value their neighbors and the steady, honest character of the land they inhabit.

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.
