2013 Map of George West

About this map

George sits in the northeastern corner of this landscape, its residential grid centered on S Main St and W Michigan Ave. This portion of Lyon County is defined by a deep agricultural grid of section roads like Indian Ave and Ironwood Ave, which partition the drainage basins of several meandering watercourses. The Little Rock River cuts diagonally across the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries including Otter Cr and Emery Cr. A notable local landmark, Hillside Dairy, is situated just west of the river along the bend of Indian Ave. The terrain is characteristic of the Iowa plains, where the natural wandering of the Rio Grande Cr contrasts with the rigid North-South and East-West orientation of the county's infrastructure and land use.
