2010 Map of Commerce

About this map

The Raccoon River winds through the southern landscape of this 2010 survey, anchoring a region undergoing significant suburban transformation. Small, established communities like Commerce and Ashawa sit adjacent to modern residential developments and sprawling infrastructure. The mapping detail highlights a transition from older landmarks, such as the Huston Cemetery and the Dale Moffit Reservoir Cemetery, to contemporary recreational and utility sites. To the south, the Dale Maffit Reservoir serves as a major water feature, while further north, Sugar Creek Lake is contained by the Sugar Creek Lake Dam. The suburban expansion of Waukee is evident in the northwestern corner with the plotting of Midwest Country Estates. This map documents a moment when traditional rural settlements were being integrated into the larger metropolitan footprint, connected by thoroughfares such as Booneville Rd and Grand Ave.
