About this map

The Iowa River meanders through this section of Iowa County, defining a landscape shaped by communal settlement patterns and water-driven industry. The interconnected villages of Middle Amana, High Amana, and West Amana are situated north of the river, while South Amana and Upper South Amana sit to the south. A prominent feature of this geography is the Mill Race, an engineered waterway running parallel to the river that historically powered the local mills, reflecting the sophisticated infrastructure of the Amana Colonies.

Water bodies such as Lily Pond, Middle Pond, and South Amana Pond dot the lowlands near the riverbanks. The survey also captures the modern footprint of the area, including the Amana Colonies RV Park and a network of rural roads like f15 Blvd and 220th TRL. The layout of the villages and the persistent path of the race provide a clear view of how these historic settlements integrated agricultural and industrial needs with the natural flow of the valley.
