How to Use This Corwith, Iowa Map

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

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.

Corwith emerges from the flat, expansive horizon of the north-central prairie as a quiet intersection of sky and soil. It lies 35.8 miles north-northeast of Fort Dodge, IA (from Fort Dodge, IA: bearing 17°T), and is situated 14.9 miles east-southeast of Algona. The Boone River traces a deliberate path through the surrounding fields, carving a subtle depression into the earth where the silt-heavy banks offer a brief respite from the relentless geometry of the crops. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, piercing clarity, washing over the endless rows of corn and soybeans until the landscape seems to vibrate with the sheer scale of its own growth. To the north, the Kossuth County Waterfowl Production Area serves as a sanctuary for the seasonal migrations, a reminder of the wilder, unplowed marshes that once defined this region before the steel plow laid claim to the black dirt.

Corwith carries the steady, measured pulse of an agricultural legacy built by settlers who sought stability in the deep, stubborn earth. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of the harvest, where the grain elevator serves as the singular, towering monument to the town’s primary industry. While the pace of life remains slow, there is a distinct, literate civility in the way the residents maintain their homes and shared spaces, honoring the Scandinavian and German heritage that colors the local dialect and customs. On clear, cool evenings, the reflection of the sun against the distant, calm surface of West Twin Lake creates a soft, violet haze that hangs over the fields, signaling the end of another day spent in the quiet, methodical labor of the plains.

About This Corwith Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Corwith, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.992744, -93.957452. 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 Corwith includes the ZIP code (50430), telephone area code (515), county seat of Hancock County (Garner), and school district assignment (Algona 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.
