Explore Livermore, 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 Livermore, 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 Livermore.
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.

Livermore spreads across the flat, open expanse of the North Central Plains, defined by the persistent, quiet presence of Lotts Creek as it carves a path through the dark, fertile soil. It lies 25.7 miles north of Fort Dodge, IA (from Fort Dodge, IA: bearing 358°T), and is situated 14.1 miles south of Algona. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, where the sky exerts a heavy, blue pressure on the horizon, shifting from the pale gold of morning to the deep violet of dusk across endless fields of corn and soybeans. Within the immediate reach of the center, the Lotts Creek offers a sliver of preserved green space, a quiet sanctuary where the prairie grasses lean into the wind and the air carries the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and drying stalks. The landscape is a study in horizontal lines, broken only by the sturdy silhouettes of grain elevators that rise like monoliths to anchor the grid of the surrounding farmland.
Livermore maintains a pace set by the seasonal cycle of planting and harvest, a rhythm that has persisted since the early settlers first broke the stubborn sod to claim the productive ground. The local economy remains tethered to this agricultural heritage, with the industrious hum of machinery punctuating the quiet days as farmers move between the fields and the town’s core. While the bustle of larger hubs feels distant, there is a grounded, literate civility here, a culture built on the quiet self-reliance of those who understand the temperament of the land. For those seeking a different kind of quiet, Oak Lake remains a reachable destination for a change of scenery, yet the true character of the locality is found in the way the sunlight catches the dust motes in a shed or the way the town holds its own against the immense, shifting weather of the plains.

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.
