How to Use This Grant, Iowa Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grant, 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 Grant.
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.

Grant is located at 41.1428°N, 94.9847°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Grant is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 50847.Grant sits upon a vast, undulating stretch of prairie where the horizon line is broken only by the silhouettes of grain silos and the occasional stand of stubborn oaks. It lies 46.3 miles east of Council Bluffs, IA (from Council Bluffs, IA: bearing 100°T), and is situated 18.1 miles south of Atlantic. The West Nodaway River carves a quiet, meandering path through the earth nearby, its dark waters reflecting the heavy, bruised clouds that often gather before a summer storm. In the golden hour, the light stretches thin and amber across the tilled fields, highlighting the deep, dark soil that defines the regional character. Three miles away, the quiet woods of Pilot Grove Park offer a sheltered refuge, providing a stark contrast to the open, wind-swept expanse of the surrounding farmland.
Grant carries the weight of a quiet history, built upon the labor of generations who turned the stubborn prairie sod into a landscape of soybean and corn. The economy remains tethered to this cycle of planting and harvest, a rhythm that dictates the pace of life and keeps the focus firmly on the land. While the quietude might suggest stillness, a persistent, literate civility defines the social fabric here, echoing the intellectual traditions of the state. Those seeking a reprieve from the endless fields often look toward the water at Cold Springs, where the quiet surface offers a moment of reflection in an otherwise industrious and unshowy corner of the world.

About This Grant Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Grant, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.142768, -94.984708. 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 Grant includes the ZIP code (50847), telephone area code (319), 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.
