2013 Map of Galva

About this map

Galva sits at the southern edge of this western Iowa landscape, where a grid of rural roads meets the winding courses of the Maple River and the Little Maple River. The town itself is organized around a core of local streets such as Main St and Ida St, surrounded by an expansive agricultural layout defined by long avenues like Keystone Ave and Landmark Ave. The drainage of the land is visible through several smaller waterways, including Hog Run and Halfway Cr, which traverse the section lines that organize the countryside into its characteristic square-mile blocks. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary perspective on the area's rural infrastructure and the persistent relationship between its town-site and the river valleys of Ida County.
