2013 Map of Atalissa

About this map

Atalissa serves as the central hub of this eastern Iowa landscape, situated along the east-west corridor of Highway 6. The town's grid is bounded by Depot St and 5th St, reflecting its position in a productive agricultural region defined by complex drainage systems and river bottomlands. To the west, the Walker Field Airport provides a local aviation landmark, while the southern and eastern portions of the quadrangle are dominated by the winding course of the Cedar River. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological management, evidenced by the long, straight reaches of the Goshen Ditch and Wales Ditch, which work to drain the low-lying areas surrounding the river. Natural wetlands persist at Wiese Slough and Lindle Lake, offering a contrast to the geometric section-line roads like Iron City Ave and Kelly Ave that segment the rural prairie.
