2010 Map of Battle Creek

About this map

Battle Creek sits at the confluence of the Maple River and its eponymous tributary, serving as the primary anchor for this rural landscape. The settlement is clearly defined by its central Battle Creek Post Office and the northern Mount Hope Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain transitions into the broad agricultural expanse of Pleasant Valley. A distinctive grid of county roads, named with a mix of avian and presidential themes like Eagle Ave, Dove Ave, and Dodge Ave, reflects the organized land division of the Iowa prairie. The map captures the area's hydrology in detail, following the meandering paths of East Aldrich Creek and Lund Creek as they feed toward the river valley. To the northeast, the Ida County Fairgrounds and Grell Pond mark the outskirts of the neighboring community, illustrating the civic and recreational infrastructure of the early 21st century.
