How to Use This Moscow, Iowa Map

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

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 Moscow, Iowa

Moscow is a locality in Muscatine County, Iowa, United States. It is a small community with a population of 290. The population density is 94.1 people per km². Moscow is located at 41.5750°N, 91.0827°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 52760.

Moscow occupies a quiet expanse of the Midwestern plains where the Cedar River carves a deliberate path through the dark, fertile earth. It lies 10.6 miles north of Muscatine, IA (from Muscatine, IA: bearing 349°T), and is situated 9.4 miles east of West Liberty. The landscape surrounding Moscow is defined by a rhythmic succession of tilled fields, where the horizontal lines of soybean and corn rows stretch toward a wide, unobstructed sky that turns a bruised violet during the late hours of autumn. A few miles away, the quiet surface of Wiese Slough reflects the shifting clouds, while the presence of the Jack Shuger Memorial Park provides a small, green anchor for the local flora. The air here holds a distinct, earthy scent of turned soil, sharpening as the temperature drops and the light grows thin across the flat horizon.

History in Moscow remains tied to the steady labor of the land and the quiet endurance of those who first settled these river-proximate prairie reaches. The local economy persists as a reflection of this agrarian heritage, moving in sync with the seasonal demands of planting and harvest rather than the frantic pace of modern industry. Life in Moscow maintains an unshowy, literate civility, where the proximity to the intellectual currents of the region encourages a thoughtful, grounded outlook among its residents. Even as the decades pass, the fundamental character of the locality remains tethered to the river and the expansive fields, preserving a sense of place that values patience and the persistent, slow work of the seasons.

About This Moscow Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Moscow, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.575026, -91.082653. 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 Moscow includes the ZIP code (52760), telephone area code (712), county seat of Muscatine County (Muscatine), and school district assignment (Wilton 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.
