About this map

Avoca and Hancock anchor this portion of Pottawattamie County, situated along the valley of the West Nishnabotna River. The town of Avoca is characterized by a dense grid of streets featuring the United Church and Avoha High Sch, while Graceland Cem sits just to the north. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course and its tributaries, including the East Branch, Graybill Creek, and Bedell Creek.

Evidence of historical transportation is seen in the Old Grade Railroad, which runs parallel to the river. Public spaces like Edgington Memorial Park and Botna Bend County Park are prominent landmarks. To the south, Hancock is identified by its own Water Tank and proximity to Oak Hill Cem, reflecting the typical small-town infrastructure and community centers of western Iowa in the late twentieth century.
