About this map

Ankeny stands as a primary hub of development north of the state capital, showing significant expansion near the Chicago and North Western rail line. The landscape is a transition from established agriculture, represented by the Iowa State University Experimental Farm, to the growing suburban fringe of north Des Moines. Throughout the Crocker and Douglas townships, numerous small settlements like Oralabor, Carney, and Marquisville are visible alongside local infrastructure including Saydel High Sch and Highland Memory Gardens.
