How to Use This Elliott, Iowa Map

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

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.

Elliott occupies a modest expanse of the Midwestern plains where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered, defined by the steady, rhythmic persistence of the Coe Creek as it navigates the local terrain. It lies 37.1 miles east-southeast of Council Bluffs, IA (from Council Bluffs, IA: bearing 102°T), and is situated 19.2 miles south-southwest of Atlantic. The landscape surrounding Elliott is a vast, open theater of tilled earth, where the soil possesses a deep, dark pigment that signals the fertility of the region. During the late afternoon, the light here takes on a peculiar, honeyed thickness, casting elongated shadows across the orderly rows of soybean and corn that define the regional geometry. While the nearby Bond's Landing offers a quiet sanctuary for those seeking the stillness of the native prairie, the primary character of the land remains committed to the quiet, industrious cultivation of the fields that ripple outward in every direction.

Agriculture serves as the essential pulse of Elliott, grounding the inhabitants in a cycle of planting and harvest that has persisted for generations. This economic backbone is complemented by a cultural heritage that draws upon the steady, diligent traditions of early settlers, fostering a local temperament that favors deliberate action over haste. Life in Elliott unfolds with a quiet, observant civility, where the neighbors recognize the value of a shared labor and the changing seasons. Even the nearby waters of Cold Springs, though distant enough to remain a destination rather than a daily fixture, reflect the same muted, contemplative atmosphere that permeates the streets and homes of Elliott, a place where the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the slow, seasonal transformation of the surrounding plains.

About This Elliott Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elliott, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.149158, -95.163881. 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 Elliott includes the ZIP code (51532), telephone area code (641), county seat of Montgomery County (Red Oak), and school district assignment (Griswold 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.
