About this map

Lake Manawa and its surrounding floodplains dominate this 2013 portrait of the southern reaches of Council Bluffs. The landscape is defined by the heavy management of Missouri River tributaries, featuring complex water engineering such as the Indian Cr Ditch, Saint Marys Ditch, and the winding course of Mosquito Cr. The area around Manawa Bend shows a mixture of industrial and commercial development, most notably the Manawa Power Centre, alongside recreational and cultural landmarks like the Council Bluffs Drive-In-Theatre.

Residential growth is evident in the northeast near Scottswood, while the southern portion remains more open with features like Island Park and the rural Lutherische Kirche. This survey captures the transition from the city's dense street grid—including 14th Ave and 35th Ave—into the peripheral lands where old landmarks like Longs Lndg meet modern interstate intersections and suburban expansions.
