How to Use This Woolstock, Iowa Map

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

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.

Woolstock occupies a quiet expanse of the Iowa plains where the horizon stretches wide and unburdened under a pale, expansive sky. It lies 17.2 miles east-northeast of Fort Dodge, IA (from Fort Dodge, IA: bearing 74°T), and is situated 6.9 miles north-northwest of Webster City. Eagle Creek carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the black soil, its currents moving with a steady, deliberate patience that mirrors the surrounding topography. To the east, the land holds a subtle, undulating grace, while the Homestead Ridge Area provides a muted elevation of brush and grass only a short distance away. At dusk, the light catches the golden stalks of corn and soybeans, casting long, thin shadows that seem to anchor the earth against the vastness of the heavens. Even the air here carries a clean, sharp scent of turned loam, a reminder that the geography is defined by the slow, seasonal labor of the fields.

Woolstock keeps a steady pulse, shaped by a heritage of industrious settlers who broke the prairie sod to build a life upon these fertile reaches. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest, with the grain elevators standing as silent, vertical sentinels over the daily affairs of the residents. While the pace of life remains measured, there is a deep, quiet literacy in the way the people manage their affairs, reflecting a regional character that values persistence over pretense. Those who seek a moment of stillness often look toward the quiet waters of Big Wall Lake, where the surface remains undisturbed by the noise of modern industry. Here, the cycle of the seasons governs the movement of the day, leaving Woolstock to exist as a place of deliberate, grounded purpose.

About This Woolstock Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Woolstock, Iowa. Coordinates: 42.566639, -93.843832. 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 Woolstock includes the ZIP code (50599), telephone area code (319), county seat of Wright County (Clarion), and school district assignment (Eagle Grove 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.
