2013 Map of McClelland

About this map

McClelland sits at the center of this rural landscape, where a grid of farm-to-market roads meets the convergence of small drainage basins in Pottawattamie County. The map documents a predominantly agricultural area characterized by the winding paths of Mosquito Cr and Little Mosquito Cr, which contrast with the sharp geometric lines of local thoroughfares like McClelland Ave and Idlewood Rd. Small settlements such as Weston and Quick anchor different corners of the sheet, while the Westfair Fairground serves as a notable regional landmark. The drainage patterns of Little Keg Cr and Keg Cr reveal the rolling nature of the Iowa countryside, where every mile or half-mile is often marked by a named road, reflecting the systematic land division that defines the Midwest. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary infrastructure and water systems of the region.
