Explore Tingley, 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 Tingley, 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 Tingley.
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.

Tingley sits amidst the expansive, undulating plains where the horizon stretches wide, marked by the steady, rhythmic labor of the seasonal harvest. It lies 48.2 miles southwest of Indianola, IA (from Indianola, IA: bearing 224°T), and is situated 16.7 miles south-southeast of Creston. Crooked Creek carves a quiet, meandering path through the earth nearby, its banks fringed with wild grasses that lean into the current, while the light at dusk settles over the fields in a soft, bruised purple hue. The landscape remains dominated by the reach of cultivated earth, where the soil holds the warmth of the sun long after the shadows have lengthened. A mile from the center, ONeil Park offers a small, steady patch of reprieve from the vastness of the surrounding farmland, providing a place where the wind catches the leaves of native trees in a low, constant hum.
Tingley maintains a character forged by the persistent, industrious spirit of early settlers who found purpose in the fertile soil and the reliable passage of the seasons. The local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the land, with the cycles of corn and soybean production dictating the pace of life for those who reside here. Residents often look toward Sun Valley Lake, five miles distant, as a point of local interest where the water reflects the expansive sky, offering a contrast to the geometric precision of the adjacent fields. There is an unshowy, pragmatic civility here, a sense that history is not a thing kept in books but a quiet weight carried in the calloused hands of those who continue to work the ground that sustains the region.

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.
