How to Use This St. Anthony, Iowa Map

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

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.

St. Anthony occupies a quiet expanse of the Iowa prairie where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a pale, expansive sky. It lies 15.5 miles west-northwest of Marshalltown, IA (from Marshalltown, IA: bearing 289°T), and is situated 14.9 miles east-northeast of Nevada. Middle Minerva Creek carves a thin, meandering path through the earth nearby, its waters often obscured by the thick, lush growth of grasses that define the local terrain. A mile away, the Prairie Creek Wildlife Area offers a sanctuary of tallgrass and seasonal color, providing a stark, untamed contrast to the orderly lines of the surrounding fields. When the sun begins its slow descent, the light catches the dust kicked up from gravel roads, turning the air into a golden, suspended haze that seems to hold the very stillness of the plains.

St. Anthony persists as a testament to the endurance of agrarian life, where the local economy remains deeply rooted in the seasonal cycles of corn and soybean production. The rhythms of the day are governed by the needs of the soil and the steady, mechanical hum of tractors working the earth in long, precise rows. History here is written in the sturdy architecture of grain elevators and the weathered wood of early homesteads, reflecting a heritage of industrious, quiet labor. While Mormon Ridge rises in the distance as a faint shadow against the sky and Dakins Lake waits six miles away for those seeking a different stillness, the people of St. Anthony find their purpose in the patient, repetitive work of the land that continues to shape the character of the region.

About This St. Anthony Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of St. Anthony, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.122209, -93.194926. 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 St. Anthony includes the ZIP code (50239), telephone area code (515), county seat of Marshall County (Marshalltown), and school district assignment (West Marshall 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.
