2018 Map of Atlantic

About this map

Atlantic and Marne anchor this Cass County landscape, revealing the modern spatial organization of southwestern Iowa's agricultural and transit corridors. The East Nishnabotna River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by a network of local waterways including Buck Creek and Spring Creek. This 2018 survey captures the intersection of heavy infrastructure and local heritage, showing the Atlantic Municipal Airport alongside long-established sites like Brighton Cemetery and Southlawn Memorial Gardens. The map details an extensive grid of country roads such as Chicago Road, Dallas Road, and County Highway G30, which facilitate the region's movement of goods. From the northern reach of Camp Creek to the southeastern flow of Troublesome Creek, the terrain reflects a well-integrated system of small-town centers and the surrounding prairie-turned-farmland typical of the Nishnabotna valley.
