2013 Map of Avoca NW

About this map

Carstens 1880 Farmstead stands as a primary point of historical interest in this rural Pottawattamie County landscape, representing the enduring agricultural heritage of the region. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel watercourses flowing southward, including Middle Silver Cr, Silver Cr, and Slocum Cr, which eventually lead toward the W Nishnabotna River in the southeast corner. The road network follows a strict section-line grid typical of the Midwest, with routes named after flora such as Tamarack Rd, Pinoak Rd, and Mahogany Rd. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern intersection of heavy transport and traditional farming, as Interstate 80 cuts across the northern edge of this quiet Iowa countryside, providing a stark contrast to the small-scale drainage basins that have shaped the land for generations.
