How to Use This Clemons, Iowa Map

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

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.

Clemons occupies a quiet expanse of the Iowa prairie, defined by the persistent, subtle carving of the South Minerva Creek as it winds through the low-lying terrain. It lies 13.5 miles west-northwest of Marshalltown, IA (from Marshalltown, IA: bearing 289°T), and is situated 16.5 miles east-northeast of Nevada. The landscape surrounding Clemons unfolds in a vast, rhythmic pattern of tilled earth, where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the occasional silhouette of a grain elevator or a cluster of wind-swept oaks. During the late summer, the air turns heavy with the scent of maturing soybeans, and the light at dusk takes on a pale, buttery quality that stretches the shadows of the cornstalks across the dark, fertile soil. Only a few miles away, the Prairie Creek Wildlife Area offers a preserved glimpse of the tallgrass wilderness that once dominated this interior, providing a sanctuary for deer and red-tailed hawks that circle above the stillness of the fields.

Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, a legacy tied to the generations of families who first broke the sod and organized the scattered homesteads into a coherent community. Life in Clemons moves with an unshowy civility, marked by the slow turn of the seasons and the shared labor of the harvest, which dictates the pace of the calendar more effectively than any clock. While the nearest recreational water, Wolf Lake, lies sixteen miles to the north, the focus here remains firmly on the land itself, where the primary work of the day is measured in acres and yield. A distinct, understated pride defines the residents, reflecting a heritage shaped by Scandinavian and German settlers who valued endurance and a quiet, literate approach to the demands of rural life.

About This Clemons Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clemons, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.113876, -93.156036. 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 Clemons includes the ZIP code (50051), telephone area code (515), county seat of Marshall County (Marshalltown), and school district assignment (West Marshall 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.
