Council Bluffs and the eastern edge of Omaha define the urban character of this recent survey, where the Missouri River serves as the state boundary between Iowa and Nebraska. The landscape transitions from the dense street grids of the city to the loess hills of Pottawattamie County, marked by a high concentration of burial sites including Saint Joseph Cem, Walnut Hill Cem, and the rural Hazel Dell Cem to the northeast. Transportation corridors are prominent, with Railroad Hwy and the winding Lewis and Clark Monument Trail providing access to the higher elevations overlooking the river valley. Smaller rural clusters like Crescent and Chautauqua remain distinct from the primary urban centers, while the Council Bluffs Municipal Airport sits on the eastern plain near Little Mosquito Cr.
