Explore Lohrville, 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 Lohrville, 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 Lohrville.
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.

Lohrville occupies a quiet expanse of the Iowa prairie where the horizon line stretches unbroken, interrupted only by the rhythmic geometry of corn and soybean rows. It lies 21.6 miles northeast of Carroll, IA (from Carroll, IA: bearing 49°T), and is situated 9.7 miles south-southeast of Rockwell City. The land here possesses a steady, deliberate weight, defined by the slow meander of Cedar Creek just a mile from the center of the grid. Sunlight at dusk catches the fine, dusty gold of the soil, casting long, lean shadows across the Ralph Earwood Memorial Trail that traces the local terrain. While the distant peak of Mount Moses remains a mere suggestion on the far-off western edge of the world, the immediate environment is defined by the flat, fertile persistence of the plains, occasionally punctuated by the quiet arrival of birds or the rustle of dry stalks.
Lohrville grew from the ambition of those who recognized the singular potential in this unshowy, productive earth, establishing a culture grounded in the quiet industry of the harvest. The economy remains tethered to the cycles of the field, where the labor of the seasons dictates the pace of life and the character of the streetscape. Families here share a heritage that values an understated, literate civility, often looking toward the intellectual currents of the state for inspiration while maintaining a steadfast commitment to the local soil. Residents might spend their weekends traversing the paths near the Ralph Earwood Memorial Trail or venturing toward Artesian Lake, finding a sense of belonging in a landscape that demands little but yields much to those who understand its temperament.

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.
