Commerce and Ashawa sit at the center of this suburbanizing landscape west of Des Moines, where the convergence of several county lines highlights the area's jurisdictional complexity. The Raccoon River winds through the southern portion of the map, feeding into the significant Dale Maffit Reservoir, which is flanked by the Dale Maffit Reservoir Cem. The transition from the dense residential grids of West Des Moines and Urbandale to the more open spaces near Sugar Creek Lake reveals the modern growth patterns of the Des Moines metro area. Notable local institutions like the Univ of Phoenix - Des Moines Campus and the Lake Sylvan Country Club are situated among a primary network of transit corridors including Hickman Rd and University Ave.
