2022 Map of Iowa Falls West

About this map

The Iowa River winds through the southern portion of this region, serving as the primary geographical anchor for the communities of Alden and Iowa Falls. This area on the border of Franklin and Hardin counties exhibits a strictly organized section-line grid of roads, such as Co Hwy S25 and Co Rd C73, which define the agricultural landscape. The small settlement of Burdette stands in the northwestern reaches, while the southeastern corner is dominated by the expansion of Iowa Falls. Educational and civic landmarks like Ellsworth Community College and Union Cem are prominent near the river, reflecting the long-established social infrastructure of these riverside towns. North of the river, the terrain is characterized by the drainage of Elk Run and a network of named avenues like Ironwood Ave and Lark Ave that facilitate the transport of the region's agricultural output.
