2018 Map of Battle Creek

About this map

Battle Creek sits at the intersection of several regional waterways and local roads in Ida County, where the Maple River meets the valley floor. The town's grid is established north of the river, with Mount Hope Cem situated on the western edge of the settlement. The surrounding landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Battle Cr, Lund Cr, and Crawford Creek, which carve through the Iowa countryside. Prominent elevations like Battle Hill rise above the alluvial plains, while Pleasant Valley extends to the southeast. The map reveals a robust network of county roads, including Co RD d50 and Co RD d59, which connect these agricultural lands. To the northeast, Gsell Pond provides a rare contained water feature in a terrain otherwise dominated by the serpentine paths of the river and its many tributaries like E Aldrich Cr.
