How to Use This Chatsworth, Iowa Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chatsworth, 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 Chatsworth.
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.

Chatsworth is located at 42.9161°N, 96.5164°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Chatsworth is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 51011.Chatsworth occupies a quiet expanse of the Iowa plains where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a vault of pale, expansive sky. It lies 19.7 miles west-northwest of Le Mars, IA (from Le Mars, IA: bearing 295°T), and is situated 5.7 miles south-southwest of Hawarden. The land around Chatsworth is defined by the steady, rhythmic geometry of tilled fields, where corn and soybeans trace the contours of the earth in orderly, seasonal patterns. Only a mile away, the quiet passage of Sixmile Creek cuts through the soil, drawing a thin line of green vegetation across the otherwise open prairie. The air here holds a crisp, dry weight, particularly at dusk when the fading light turns the distant, undulating earth into a soft, monochromatic gray, and the silence of the flat expanse becomes almost absolute.
Development in Chatsworth remains tethered to the industrious legacy of the Midwestern agricultural tradition, reflecting a history of settlement built upon the persistence of grain and soil. Life in Chatsworth follows the slow, deliberate turn of the harvest, far removed from the bustle of urban centers and defined instead by the maintenance of local land. Residents often look toward the Petry-conway area for a sense of preserved, wilder space, while the more distant, elevated profile of Volcano Hill serves as a faint, static anchor to the west. Whether tending to the land or managing the modest pace of local commerce, the people of Chatsworth maintain an unshowy civility, finding a private, enduring value in the simple, repetitive labor that keeps this stretch of the state alive.

About This Chatsworth Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Chatsworth, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.916101, -96.51642. 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 Chatsworth includes the ZIP code (51011), telephone area code (563), county seat of Sioux County (Orange City), and school district assignment (West Sioux 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.
