2013 Map of Mediapolis

About this map

Mediapolis serves as the primary hub in this portion of Des Moines County, situated at the intersection of Mediapolis Rd and the main highway corridor. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Flint Cr and Hawkeye Cr that drain toward the Iowa River in the northeast corner. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural character of the region, where small named settlements like Garland, Newport, and Kossuth are connected by a regular grid of section roads such as 120th Ave and 260th St. To the northwest, the edge of Morning Sun appears, marking the transition into the neighboring township. The map provides a contemporary look at these long-established farming communities, showing how local infrastructure like Iowa City Rd and Co Road H22 continues to follow the historic paths between these rural centers.
