2018 Map of Belle Plaine

About this map

The Iowa River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, its broad floodplain marked by the Chambers Ford Bridge and the marshy expanses near the Belle Plaine Municipal Airport. As the terrain rises northward into the rolling divides between Salt Creek, Wolf Cr, and Buckeye Cr, the map reveals a dense network of nineteenth-century pioneer burial sites. These include family and community-named locations like Arbuthnot Cem, Dvorak Cem, and Redman Cem. The town of Belle Plaine serves as the regional hub at the intersection of numerous local routes, such as Main St and 78th Street Trl. Further north, the small settlement of Irving sits near the county line, surrounded by agricultural sections that have defined this part of Benton County for generations.
