How to Use This West Amana, Iowa Map

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

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.

West Amana occupies a quiet expanse of the Iowa landscape where the horizon stretches wide across flat, fertile plains. It lies 19.3 miles west-northwest of North Liberty, IA (from North Liberty, IA: bearing 282°T), and is situated 5.6 miles east of Marengo. The Iowa River flows steadily through the fields just a mile away, carving a path through earth that feeds rows of corn and soybeans. Sunlight hits the soil in long, golden slants during the late afternoon, illuminating the dust that hangs in the air above the furrows. While the distant silhouette of The Hogback remains a phantom on the far edge of the state, the immediate ground is defined by the steady, unadorned geometry of agriculture. Only a few miles distant, the still surface of South Amana Pond reflects the changing sky, offering a muted contrast to the industrious rhythm of the surrounding acreage.

West Amana preserves the legacy of the communal society that once defined the seven villages of this region, maintaining a character rooted in craftsmanship and collective purpose. The local economy persists as a blend of traditional labor and a modern appreciation for history, with workshops and stores that reflect the enduring German heritage of the founders. Visitors often find their way to the nearby Coralville Recreation Area to engage with the natural terrain, yet the core of daily life remains tethered to the quiet, deliberate pace of the village streets. There is a distinct, understated weight to the architecture here, where brick and timber hold the memory of a communal past against the expansive prairie wind. Life here moves with a sensible, measured intent, reflecting a culture that values the work of the hands and the quietude of a well-tended home.

About This West Amana Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of West Amana, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.808061, -91.96379. 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 West Amana includes the ZIP code (52203), telephone area code (712), county seat of Iowa County (Marengo), and school district assignment (Clear Creek-Amana 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.
