How to Use This Hazleton, Iowa Map

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

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.

Hazleton rests upon a landscape defined by the steady, unassuming movement of Hazelton Creek as it carves a path through the expansive, tilled earth of the Iowa plains. It lies 24.2 miles east-northeast of Waterloo, IA (from Waterloo, IA: bearing 68°T), and is situated 3.7 miles south of Oelwein. The horizon stretches wide and flat, broken only by the silhouettes of grain elevators and the occasional cluster of oaks that mark the passage of the seasons. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar clarity, washing over the black soil in a way that makes the rows of corn and soybeans appear as though they are vibrating with latent energy. Residents often look toward the Nibeck Area to find a quiet respite, where the land retains a wilder, more primitive texture than the manicured fields surrounding the outskirts. Just a mile away, the surface of Lake Oelwein serves as a mirror for the shifting cloud formations, providing a cool, still counterpoint to the industrious pace of the agricultural calendar.

Hazleton maintains a character forged by generations of settlers who arrived to work the rich, dark silt of the valley, establishing a rhythm dictated by the harvest and the seasons. The local economy remains deeply tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where the labor of the plow and the precision of modern machinery define the daily routine. While the decades have brought change, the atmosphere retains a deliberate, unshowy civility, where the weight of history is felt more in the quiet maintenance of family homesteads than in grand monuments. Life in Hazleton proceeds with a steady, predictable cadence, grounded by the persistent presence of the creek and the knowledge that the next season, like the last, will demand the same patient attention to the soil.

About This Hazleton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hazleton, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.620818, -91.90017. 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 Hazleton includes the ZIP code (50641), telephone area code (319), county seat of Buchanan County (Independence), and school district assignment (Oelwein 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.
