The Iowa River meanders broadly through this central Iowa landscape, defining the character of the Amana Colonies region in the early twenty-first century. The map centers on the historic communal settlements of Amana, East Amana, and Homestead, showing their distinct grid patterns and relationship to the fertile bottomlands. These villages, founded in the mid-19th century, are joined by the town of Walford to the north, which sits along the Benton Iowa Rd.
