How to Use This Crawfordsville, Iowa Map

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

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.

Crawfordsville emerges from the flat, expansive horizon as a quiet collection of structures held firmly within the vast grid of Iowa’s agricultural heartland. It lies 29.5 miles west-southwest of Muscatine, IA (from Muscatine, IA: bearing 241°T), and is situated 10.0 miles southeast of Washington. The landscape around Crawfordsville is defined by the rigorous geometry of tilled soil, where the dark, fertile earth stretches toward the sky in endless rows of corn and soybeans. A mile away, the quiet passage of Big Slough Creek marks the low point of the terrain, its banks lined with dense thickets that offer a cool, shaded reprieve from the summer heat. During the long, golden hours of late afternoon, the light here possesses a peculiar clarity, turning the dusty air to a pale amber that settles over the fields and emphasizes the sheer scale of the open plains.

History in Crawfordsville remains tied to the cycles of the harvest and the steady, unshowy labor of the families who have long worked this ground. Commerce is measured by the season, with grain elevators standing as the primary vertical landmarks against a wide, unobstructed sky. For those seeking the quietude of the natural world, Foster Pond offers a modest space for reflection three miles out, while the Sockum Ridge Park Trail, six miles distant, provides a path through the regional timber and brush. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that understands its own rhythms, far removed from the frantic pace of larger centers, yet maintaining a distinct, literate civility that honors the heritage of the settlers who first broke this sod.

About This Crawfordsville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Crawfordsville, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.21456, -91.53731. 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 Crawfordsville includes the ZIP code (52621), telephone area code (712), county seat of Washington County (Washington), and school district assignment (WACO 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.
