About this map

Council Bluffs expands southward in this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial infrastructure and conservation. The shoreline of Lake Manawa is home to the established Lake Manawa State Park, while the surrounding terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive rail network, including the Wabash and Chicago Burlington and Quincy. The presence of the Council Bluffs Municipal Airport and a prominent Tank Farm highlights the post-war transportation and energy demands of the region.
