2013 Map of Jefferson West

About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through this West Iowa landscape, defining the topography south of the small settlement of Farlin. The eastern edge of the map captures the residential and commercial expansion of Jefferson, where local landmarks like the Mahanay Bell Tower stand as central points of the community's skyline. The terrain is a blend of natural waterways and managed agricultural land, evidenced by the presence of Goose Lake and Drainage Ditch 171, which reflect the region's efforts to balance its wetland heritage with farming needs. Further south, the Eureka Bridge provides a key crossing over the river, anchoring the rural road network that connects these Greene County townships. The map illustrates a clear transition from the structured grid of city streets like West Lincolnway Street to the expansive section lines that dominate the outskirts of the county seat.
