2013 Map of Melbourne

About this map

Melbourne serves as the primary hub of this central Iowa landscape, where a grid of rural roads meets the diagonal path of Highway 330. The town’s layout is clearly defined by local landmarks like Railroad St, College Dr, and Park Ave, reflecting a traditional Midwestern settlement pattern. To the north, the small community of Malta sits near Whites Airport, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle includes State Center Junction and the settlement of Van Cleve. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways, most notably the N Timber Cr and S Timber Cr, which feed into the N Skunk River at the southern edge. This map documents a well-established agricultural and residential network, capturing the relationship between small-town infrastructure and the surrounding prairie streams like Snipe Cr.
