How to Use This Huxley, Iowa Map

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

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.

Huxley occupies a vast, level expanse where the horizon stretches toward an infinite, pale sky, defined by the relentless geometry of tilled black earth. It lies 9.7 miles south of Ames, IA (from Ames, IA: bearing 174°T), and is situated 11.4 miles north of Ankeny. The landscape around Huxley breathes with the seasonal pulse of corn and soybean cycles, a wide, open theater where the light at dusk turns the stubble fields into a sea of burnished copper. A quiet stillness defines the proximity to Ballard Creek, which winds through the periphery, offering a low, damp contrast to the orderly, dry grid of the surrounding fields. Residents often find their respite at Berhow Park, a local space that serves as a modest anchor for the neighborhood, while the distant, darker canopy of the Stephens State Forest - Woodburn Unit marks the edge of the regional wilderness.

History in Huxley reflects the quiet tenacity of the Scandinavian settlers who first broke this prairie sod, establishing a character of unshowy, literate civility that persists in the modern pace of life. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the soil, though the influence of nearby academic institutions ensures a steady, thoughtful energy flows through the streets. During the humid peak of summer, the air carries a heavy, fertile scent, grounding the daily routine in the realities of the earth and the industry required to harvest it. For those seeking the expansive, reflective qualities of water, the broad, quiet surface of Saylorville Lake waits only a short distance away, providing a stark, liquid mirror to the immense, cloud-swept plains that define the identity of Huxley.
