How to Use This Clio, Iowa Map

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

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.

Clio emerges from the expansive, flat horizon as a modest collection of structures held together by the quiet, persistent presence of the Little Muddy Creek. It lies 50.3 miles south of Indianola, IA (from Indianola, IA: bearing 174°T), and is situated 32.1 miles south-southeast of Osceola. The surrounding landscape is dominated by heavy, dark soil that yields to the meticulous geometry of corn and soybean rows, stretching toward the distance like a vast, green-gold grid. When the sun hangs low, the light flattens against the stalks, turning the stubble of the fields into a muted copper that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the shadows lengthen. Two miles away, the Medicine Creek Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary of tall grasses and native brush, providing a wilder, unmanicured counterpoint to the disciplined order of the nearby tilled acreage.

Clio maintains a character shaped by the steady, cyclical demands of agrarian commerce and a legacy of settlement that lingers in the plain, sturdy architecture of its older foundations. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, a cycle that dictates the pace of life and the movement of heavy machinery along the rural roads. Residents often find their way toward the Medicine Creek Wildlife Area for quiet observation, or perhaps travel nine miles to the Lions Community Park Lake when the intensity of the summer humidity demands a cooling reprieve. There is a perceptible patience in the way Clio persists, an unshowy civility found in the slow, deliberate work of maintaining a life where the horizon is always the most prominent feature of the day.

About This Clio Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clio, Iowa. Coordinates: 40.635008, -93.451328. 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 Clio includes the ZIP code (50052), telephone area code (515), county seat of Wayne County (Corydon), and school district assignment (Wayne 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.
