2013 Map of Battle Creek

About this map

The Maple River winds through this Ida County landscape, anchoring the community of Battle Creek as it appeared in the early 21st century. The town is laid out on a grid system with streets such as Daisy St, Center St, and Chestnut St providing a clear view of the municipal core near the river's bend. To the northeast, the Ida County Fairgrounds serves as a significant local landmark near Grell Pond, while the surrounding rural township is defined by a precise network of section-line roads like Eagle Ave and 270th St. Insights into the local drainage and topography are found in the numerous tributaries feeding the river, including Lund Cr, Aldrich Cr, and Crawford Cr. Elevated features like Battle Hill and the broad Pleasant Valley offer a sense of the undulating terrain that characterizes this part of western Iowa.
