About this map

Indianola serves as the central hub of this Iowa landscape, where the historic campus of Simpson Coll is situated near the heart of the city’s grid. The settlement pattern radiates outward from the town center, giving way to the fertile valley of the South River and its various tributaries. To the south, Lake Ahquabi stands as a significant geographic focal point, surrounded by the undulating terrain of Warren County.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem near the city and the more rural Randolph Cem and Hewitt Cem. Aviation history is noted at Nash Field Indianola Airport, while the presence of Hedgewood Landing along the river suggests long-standing connections between the water and the local community. Smaller waterways like Steels Br, Squaw Cr, and Otter Cr weave through the township sections, defining the drainage of this agricultural region.
