2013 Map of Kalona

About this map

Kalona serves as the primary hub of this eastern Iowa landscape, where the grid-like precision of rural road systems meets the meandering path of the English River. The river creates a natural corridor through the northern half of the map, fed by tributaries like Rumsey Cr and Bulgers Run, while the southern reaches are defined by drainage basins including Camp Cr and the N Fork Long Cr. Local landmarks such as the Windmill Ridge Camp Ground and Kalona Golf Course sit between the main settlement and the smaller community of Richmond to the south. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of Washington County, marked by established operations like Banker Mill Dairy and a dense network of numbered gravel and paved roads that facilitate the movement of goods and people across the prairie.
