Explore Spragueville, 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 Spragueville, 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 Spragueville.
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.

Spragueville emerges from the broad, undulating expanse of the Iowa driftless region where the horizon is defined by the deep, rhythmic swells of tilled earth. It lies 20.2 miles northwest of Clinton, IA (from Clinton, IA: bearing 321°T), and is situated 11.8 miles east of Maquoketa. The landscape around Spragueville is shaped by the persistent flow of the Maquoketa River, which carves a quiet, serpentine path through the limestone bluffs just a mile away, feeding the lush bottomlands that hold the morning mist long after the sun has climbed the sky. To the west, the distant silhouette of Terrapin Ridge anchors the view, while the local terrain is marked by the Jackson County Recreation Trail, a corridor of quiet passage that invites the observant traveler to witness the seasonal turning of the prairie grasses.
Settlement in this corner of the state mirrors the quiet endurance of the soil, grounded in a heritage of agrarian diligence that remains the heartbeat of the local economy. Beyond the immediate reach of the Jackson County Recreational Trail, the land is organized into vast, productive grids of corn and soybean, a testament to a long-standing tradition of cultivation that defines the character of the people. Life in Spragueville maintains a deliberate pace, punctuated by the seasonal machinery of harvest and the subtle changes in the light as it catches the golden stubble of the fields. Though Eggers Hollow lies six miles distant and Goose Lake rests seven miles to the north, the focus here remains fixed on the immediate, tangible richness of the earth and the unshowy, literate civility of a life lived close to the land.

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.
