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

It lies 20.3 miles northwest of Waverly, IA (from Waverly, IA: bearing 305°T), and is situated 13.5 miles south-southwest of Charles City. Sunlight here possesses a particular weight, pressing down upon the endless rows of corn and soybeans until the horizon blurs into a hazy, golden seam of heat. Within the quiet boundaries of Wunsch Memorial Park, the air holds a stillness that seems to gather the history of the prairie, grounding the sprawling expanse of tilled earth that defines the region’s physical character.
Greene emerged from the persistent labor of settlers who recognized the potential in the river’s steady current and the endurance of the surrounding landscape. The local economy remains deeply tethered to the rhythmic demands of the harvest, a cycle that dictates the pace of life as surely as the seasons shift across the flatlands. While the town remains a modest center of agrarian enterprise, the heritage of those who first broke this sod lingers in the unshowy, pragmatic civility of its residents. Life in Greene moves with the quiet confidence of a place that understands its own value, indifferent to the clamor of the distant world beyond the horizon.

About This Greene Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Greene, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.895807, -92.802416. 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 Greene includes the ZIP code (50636), telephone area code (319), county seat of Butler County (Allison), and school district assignment (North Butler 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.
