How to Use This Woodburn, Iowa Map

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

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.

Woodburn reveals itself through the steady, patient rhythm of Brush Creek as it carves a slow path through the southern Iowa prairie. It lies 24.0 miles south of Indianola, IA (from Indianola, IA: bearing 185°T), and is situated 8.8 miles east of Osceola. The landscape around Woodburn consists of expansive, tilled earth that stretches toward the horizon, where the light at dusk turns the fields into a deep, burnished copper. Beyond the immediate rows of corn and soybeans, the terrain shifts into the dense, timbered ridges of Stephens State Forest, which stands as a quiet sentinel only two miles away. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and drying stalks, a heavy, grounded perfume that defines the seasonal cycles of this inland expanse.

Woodburn persists as a quiet reflection of the agricultural heritage that first broke this soil, maintaining a character forged by generations of labor on the plains. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the surrounding acreage, where the cycle of planting and harvest dictates the tempo of daily life. While the quietude of the region is punctuated by the occasional rustle of wildlife from the nearby Stephens State Forest - White Breast Unit, the people of Woodburn honor a tradition of unshowy, literate civility. The occasional traveler seeking solace might find their way to the tranquil edges of Stephens Forest Pond, where the water mirrors the vast, empty sky, offering a moment of stillness that feels as enduring as the history of the land itself.

About This Woodburn Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Woodburn, Iowa. Coordinates: 41.011943, -93.599105. 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 Woodburn includes the ZIP code (50275), telephone area code (515), county seat of Clarke County (Osceola), and school district assignment (Clarke 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.
