2013 Map of Dows East

About this map

Dows sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where the Iowa River meanders through the prairie. The town's street grid, featuring names like Train St and River St, reflects its historical development alongside the water. Northeast of the settlement, the Dows Golf Course occupies the space between the river and the diagonal path of the interstate. This 2013 survey illustrates the highly organized agricultural grid of north-central Iowa, defined by numbered roads like 100th St and named avenues such as Balsam Ave. In the northeast corner, Maynes Creek cuts across the rural landscape, offering a natural break in the geometric township layout. The area is characterized by this intersection of modern transportation corridors and the traditional farm-to-market road system.
