About this map

Des Moines River and the Raccoon River converge at the heart of this mid-century urban landscape, anchoring a dense network of civic and industrial infrastructure. The city's eastern growth is evident in the sprawling residential blocks surrounding Grandview Park and the prominent State Capitol grounds. To the south, the transition from heavy industry and rail yards into the open terrain of Bloomfield and the Polk Co Warren Co line reveals a geography defined by the era's transport demands.
