2013 Map of Afton

About this map

Afton serves as the central hub of this Iowa landscape, where the grid of town streets meets the winding paths of Threemile Cr and Twomile Cr. The local geography is defined by significant water resources, most notably the expansive Three Mile Lake to the northwest and the smaller Lake Afton situated just west of the town center. The presence of the Union County Fairgrounds near the intersection of E Filmore St and W Filmore St highlights the community's role as a regional gathering place. Transportation corridors including Old Hwy 34 and a network of gravel roads like Creamery RD and Nighthawk Ave connect the outlying farmsteads. To the east, the terrain is drained by the Thompson River and Star Br, illustrating the transition from managed lakeside recreation to the natural river valleys of Union County.
