Explore Le Claire, Iowa, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Le Claire, 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 Le Claire.
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.

Le Claire maintains a steady poise amidst the expansive, fertile plains where the horizon is defined by the rhythmic geometry of tilled farmland. It lies 10.3 miles east-northeast of Bettendorf, IA (from Bettendorf, IA: bearing 60°T), and is situated 8.5 miles northeast of East Moline. Silver Creek carves a quiet, persistent path through the local topography, its presence a constant, cooling influence as it wanders toward the broader regional waterways that define the valley floor. Within the boundaries of Le Claire, the landscape is marked by the modest, purposeful stretches of Veterans Memorial Park, where the grass holds the morning dew long after the sun has climbed above the cornfields. The air here carries the faint, dry scent of soil and the subtle, shifting light that turns the gray-green foliage of late summer into a pale, translucent gold as the afternoon wanes.
History in Le Claire remains tethered to the industrious spirit of early river pilots and settlers who navigated the challenging rock formations that once demanded deep local knowledge. This legacy of transit and trade persists in a modern economy that favors a blend of small-scale commerce and a lingering appreciation for the craftsmanship of an earlier era. While the distant silhouette of Indian Hill provides a singular verticality to the otherwise level vista, the rhythm of daily life is dictated by the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons across the surrounding fields. Residents often look toward the quiet expanse of Rustic Acres Lake for stillness, finding in the interplay of water and wind a sense of continuity that honors the Scandinavian and German heritage woven into the foundations of the settlement.

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.
