How to Use This Coon Rapids, Iowa Map

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

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.

Coon Rapids emerges from the expansive, level horizons of the prairie, defined by the steady, winding movement of the Middle Raccoon River as it cuts through the local landscape. It lies 16.6 miles southeast of Carroll, IA (from Carroll, IA: bearing 144°T), and is situated 18.4 miles west-southwest of Jefferson. The terrain surrounding Coon Rapids consists of deep, dark soil that supports endless rows of corn and soybeans, stretching until the earth meets the sky in a long, unbroken line. At the edges of the fields, the White Rock Conservancy offers a expanse of restored prairie and woodland where the light at dusk settles in long, amber streaks across the native grasses. The air here holds a distinct, crisp clarity, carrying the scent of damp earth and turning leaves, a reminder of the quiet, deliberate pace of the land.

History in Coon Rapids remains rooted in the industrious spirit of its early settlers, who recognized the value of the river for both movement and the cultivation of the fertile plains. Today, the local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture, though the presence of the White Rock Conservancy signifies a modern commitment to land stewardship and ecological preservation. Life in Coon Rapids moves with a pragmatic, unshowy civility, where the changing seasons dictate the tempo of daily work and communal gathering. Residents often look toward the distant presence of Mount Moses or plan excursions to Lake Panorama, finding a balance between the demands of the harvest and the simple, lingering beauty of the Iowa landscape.

About This Coon Rapids Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Coon Rapids, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.870819, -94.677479. 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 Coon Rapids includes the ZIP code (50058), telephone area code (515), county seat of Carroll County (Carroll), and school district assignment (Coon Rapids-Bayard 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.
