The Raccoon River and its major tributaries, including Sugar Creek and Walnut Creek, define the topography of this transitional landscape west of the state capital. The settlement at Commerce sits along the river's northern bend, while Ashawa marks a distinct point of historical interest near the developing municipal boundaries of West Des Moines, Urbandale, and Clive. These burgeoning suburbs are mapped alongside older landmarks such as Huston Cemetery and Hobbes Field.
