How to Use This Lowell, Iowa Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lowell, 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 Lowell.
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.

About Lowell, Iowa
Lowell is a locality in Henry County, Iowa, United States. It is a small community with a population of 70. The population density is 27.1 people per km². Lowell is located at 40.8334°N, 91.4365°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 52645.Lowell anchors itself upon the quiet, fertile expanse of the Iowa plains, where the Skunk River carves a deliberate, winding path through the dark loam of the valley floor. It lies 15.4 miles north-northwest of Fort Madison, IA (from Fort Madison, IA: bearing 336°T), and is situated 6.7 miles south-southwest of New London. The horizon here is defined by the vast, open sky, which presses down upon the fields of corn and soybeans with a weight that seems to distill the very air into a pale, golden clarity. At the edge of the local landscape, Stephenson Park provides a modest sanctuary of green, offering a stillness that complements the rhythmic, seasonal pulse of the surrounding agriculture. Beneath the expansive vault of clouds, the earth retains a subtle, ancient capacity to absorb the light, turning a deep, rich ochre as the sun begins its slow descent toward the western fields.
Lowell carries the quiet inheritance of a region built by those who sought stability in the heavy, productive soil, maintaining an economy that remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest. The proximity of Geode Lake, resting just a short distance away, offers a quiet counterpoint to the industrious nature of the surrounding farmland, where the heritage of early settlers persists in the deliberate, unshowy manner of daily life. While the Pollmiller Park Trail invites a slower engagement with the wider terrain, the spirit of Lowell remains centered on the immediate, tangible labor of the land. It is a place where the passage of time is measured not by grand gestures, but by the steady, predictable turning of the seasons and the enduring, quiet civility of those who call these plains home.

About This Lowell Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lowell, Iowa. Coordinates: 40.833368, -91.436544. 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 Lowell includes the ZIP code (52645), telephone area code (712), county seat of Henry County (Mount Pleasant), and school district assignment (New London 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.
