How to Use This Dunlap, Iowa Map

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

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.

Dunlap occupies a modest stretch of earth where the Boyer River carves a deliberate, winding path through the vast, fertile plains of the Iowa landscape. It lies 40.4 miles west-southwest of Carroll, IA (from Carroll, IA: bearing 249°T), and is situated 16.9 miles southwest of Denison. The horizon is defined by the heavy, dark loam of the fields, which extend in an endless geometry of corn and soybeans that seem to swallow the light of the setting sun. To the west, the land begins to heave upward into the craggy, wind-blown formations of the Loess Hills, providing a textured backdrop to the flat, industrious valley floor. The air here carries a distinct, dry fragrance of turned earth and ripening grain, a scent that marks the passage of seasons more reliably than any clock.

Dunlap maintains a quiet, industrious pace, its identity forged by generations of families who have worked the surrounding fields since the nineteenth-century arrival of the railway. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of the harvest, with the grain elevators standing as silent, gray sentinels above the modest storefronts and brick facades of the main thoroughfare. Residents often travel a few miles to Schaben Park for a reprieve in the open air, finding a sense of scale in the local timber and grass that contrasts with the intense, human-made order of the surrounding agriculture. Despite the isolation of the plains, there persists an unshowy, literate civility among the people, a quiet recognition of the land's demand for endurance and the simple beauty of a life lived in accordance with the turning of the seasons.

About This Dunlap Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dunlap, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.854433, -95.600559. 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 Dunlap includes the ZIP code (51529), telephone area code (641), county seat of Harrison County (Logan), and school district assignment (Boyer Valley 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.
