Explore Farragut, Iowa, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Farragut, 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 Farragut.
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.

Farragut sits amidst a vast, undulating expanse where the horizon stretches flat and wide, defined by the relentless geometry of tilled soil and seasonal crops. It lies 42.2 miles south-southeast of Council Bluffs, IA (from Council Bluffs, IA: bearing 152°T), and is situated 6.4 miles west-southwest of Shenandoah. The air here holds a crisp, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of the distant horizon, where the faint, hazy outline of Pigeon Ridge suggests a world far beyond the immediate prairie. Only a mile away, the East Nishnabotna River carves a quiet, meandering path through the earth, its slow-moving waters providing a constant, low-frequency pulse to the surrounding fields. To the north, the terrain softens into the subtle, sweeping swells characteristic of the region, creating a landscape that feels both expansive and deeply private, particularly as the low, golden light of late afternoon catches the stubble of harvested soybean fields.
Farragut reflects the steady, disciplined heritage of its early settlers, who built their lives upon the promise of this fertile, dark loam. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, with the machinery of modern agriculture marking the passage of time far more reliably than any clock. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the Riverton Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of tall grasses and native brush, serving as a reminder of the wilder, uncultivated state of the plains that once defined the territory. Life in Farragut moves with an unpretentious, quiet civility, where the neighbors recognize the value of a day’s labor and the silence that settles over the land when the work is finally done.

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.
