How to Use This Ferguson, Iowa Map

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

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.

Ferguson emerges from the flat, fertile expanse of the Iowa prairie, defined by the quiet persistence of South Timber Creek as it carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth. It lies 8.1 miles south-southeast of Marshalltown, IA (from Marshalltown, IA: bearing 164°T), and is situated 18.9 miles north-northeast of Newton. The landscape holds the vast, open silence of the plains, where the horizon remains an unbroken line of sky meeting the dark, heavy soil of a thousand tilled acres. Green Castle Recreation Area anchors the immediate terrain, offering a reprieve of grasses and native cover that softens the sharp edges of the surrounding industrial agriculture. In the cooler hours of early autumn, the light here turns a pale, translucent gold, catching the dust of the fields and illuminating the subtle, rhythmic undulations of a land that seems to hold its breath under the weight of the immense, shifting clouds.

Ferguson carries the quiet gravity of a settlement built upon the cycles of planting and harvest, its economy a reflection of the deep, black loam that demands a steady, pragmatic devotion. While the distant silhouette of Mormon Ridge suggests the ancient movements of the earth, the daily life of the residents is tethered to the hum of machinery and the slow, deliberate pace of a life lived in accordance with the seasons. A traveler might find the nearby Linn Creek Greenbelt a place to observe the persistence of local flora, a reminder of the wilder prairie that existed long before the grid of fences and silos was imposed upon the view. There is an unshowy, literate civility here, a sense that the people of Ferguson possess a sturdy, grounded patience, moving through their days with the same unwavering reliability as the current of South Timber Creek.

About This Ferguson Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ferguson, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.936934, -92.865753. 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 Ferguson includes the ZIP code (50078), telephone area code (515), county seat of Marshall County (Marshalltown), and school district assignment (East Marshall 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.
