How to Use This Redding, Iowa Map

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

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.

Redding maintains a quiet presence amidst a vast, expansive horizon of tilled earth that stretches toward the edges of the sky. It lies 31.1 miles northeast of Maryville, MO (from Maryville, MO: bearing 55°T), and is situated 31.4 miles south of Creston. The landscape surrounding Redding is defined by its deep, fertile soil, where the seasonal cycles of corn and soybeans dictate the rhythm of the days. A short distance away, the Grand River carves a serpentine path through the terrain, its banks providing a sliver of shade and relief from the intense prairie sun. In the distance, the Pinhook Hills rise as a faint, muted silhouette, offering a subtle variation to the otherwise level expanse that characterizes this part of the state. During the golden hour, the light leans heavy and honey-colored against the stalks, turning the entire region into a study of amber and shadow.

Redding retains the enduring legacy of early agricultural settlement, shaped by families who looked to the plains to build a life of industry and quiet endurance. The local economy remains anchored to the land, reflecting a heritage of labor that values the steady, predictable yield of the harvest. Residents often find solace in the nearby Boone Woods, a place where the dense canopy offers a reprieve from the open fields, or occasionally travel to the quiet shores of Zollman Lake to watch the water catch the shifting Iowa clouds. There is a perceptible civility here, a deliberate way of moving through the week that honors the past without being tethered to it. Life in Redding unfolds with an unpretentious clarity, defined by the turning of the seasons and the persistent, honest work of the soil.

About This Redding Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Redding, Iowa. Coordinates: 40.604713, -94.387736. 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 Redding includes the ZIP code (50860), telephone area code (319), county seat of Ringgold County (Mount Ayr), and school district assignment (Mount Ayr 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.
