Explore Sherrill, 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 Sherrill, 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 Sherrill.
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.

Sherrill emerges from the expansive, undulating plateau of the upper Midwest, defined by a landscape where the soil’s dark, fertile depth dictates the rhythm of the horizon. It lies 9.4 miles northwest of Dubuque, IA (from Dubuque, IA: bearing 319°T), and is situated 6.4 miles north-northwest of Asbury. The terrain here is shaped by the subtle incision of Basswood Creek, which carves a modest, winding path through the heavy earth, while the distant, elevated silhouette of Balltown Ridge provides a constant, quiet boundary to the westward gaze. Sunlight in Sherrill possesses a particular clarity, lingering long over the tilled fields and catching the pale, dusty stalks of late-season corn until the entire expanse glows with an amber, hushed intensity. Three miles away, the quiet seclusion of Mangold Hollow offers a natural depression in the land, a sheltered space where the air settles into a cool, still weight as the afternoon wanes.
Sherrill maintains an economy deeply rooted in the stewardship of this productive geography, reflecting a heritage built by settlers who recognized the endurance required to farm such unforgiving yet generous terrain. The local character remains unshowy, defined by a literate civility and a preference for the steady, predictable cycles of agricultural labor that have persisted for generations. Residents often find their recreation in the quietude of the outdoors, occasionally venturing toward the trails at Finley's Landing Addition or seeking the solitude of the landscape when the seasons shift. Even as the modern world encroaches, the pace of life in Sherrill persists with a deliberate, measured quality, much like the slow, seasonal turning of the soil that defines the identity of those who call this geography home.

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.
