Explore Raymond, 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 Raymond, 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 Raymond.
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.

Raymond emerges from the broad, flat expanse of the Iowa prairie where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the sun each evening in a slow, golden dissolution. It lies 6.5 miles east-southeast of Waterloo, IA (from Waterloo, IA: bearing 105°T), and is situated 7.6 miles east-northeast of Orange. Poyner Creek traces a quiet, winding path through the landscape, its presence marked by a thin ribbon of deeper green vegetation that cuts through the surrounding fields of soybeans and corn. Raymond Park sits at the center of this rural geography, offering a modest space of grass and open sky where the wind carries the scent of turned earth and ripening stalks. Though the distant silhouette of The Hogback stands miles away, the immediate terrain remains defined by the patient, low-slung rhythm of fertile soil and the steady, unshowy labor of the seasons.
History in Raymond remains visible in the sturdy, plain-spoken architecture of its original foundations, reflecting a heritage built upon the endurance of those who first broke the heavy sod. The local economy persists as an extension of this legacy, deeply rooted in the seasonal cycles of agrarian commerce that sustain the region. Residents often look toward the quiet surface of Meyers Lake when they seek a moment of stillness, finding in its calm waters a reflection of a life that values consistency over spectacle. Daily life here possesses a deliberate, grounded quality, where the primary concerns are the yield of the harvest and the quiet maintenance of the land, affirming a culture that prizes the dignity of persistent, honest work.

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.
