How to Use This Diamondhead Lake, Iowa Map

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

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.

About Diamondhead Lake, Iowa

Diamondhead Lake is a locality in Guthrie County, Iowa, United States. It is a small community with a population of 371. The population density is 147.2 people per km². Diamondhead Lake is located at 41.5521°N, 94.2622°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 50070.

Diamondhead Lake serves as a quiet, reflective anchor in the vast expanse of the Iowa prairie. It lies 19.9 miles west-southwest of Waukee, IA (from Waukee, IA: bearing 258°T), and is situated 13.4 miles west-southwest of Adel. Long Branch winds its way through the verdant terrain here, carving a modest path that sustains the local flora and mirrors the wide, pale sky. To the west, the distant silhouette of Buffalo Ridge occasionally breaks the flat horizon, offering a subtle contrast to the surrounding fields of corn and soybeans that stretch out in measured, rhythmic rows. The air near the water holds a lingering coolness, especially during the transition of seasons when the sunlight grows thin and golden, casting long, sharp shadows across the quiet surface of the basin.

Diamondhead Lake remains a place defined by its steady, agrarian pulse and the modest footprint of those who reside nearby. Residents often find their way toward the Courtney Mccammond Access to appreciate the quietude of the land, or they look toward the Raccoon River Trail when the desire for a longer journey through the countryside arises. While the Middle River County Forest offers a denser canopy of oak and hickory further afield, the economy here remains tethered to the patient labor of the soil and the unshowy, literate civility of the region. Life in Diamondhead Lake moves with the slow, deliberate grace of the seasons, echoing the heritage of settlers who once measured their success by the depth of the harvest and the simple endurance of the earth.
