About this map

The Iowa River corridor in this 2015 survey reveals the distinct settlement patterns of the Amana Colonies. Clustered villages including Middle Amana, High Amana, and West Amana are linked by the historical Mill Race waterway, reflecting a unique communal heritage and intentional land use that survives into the modern era. The landscape transitions from the river's wetland edge to the agricultural uplands of Benton Co and Iowa Co.

Genealogists and local researchers can locate numerous community landmarks, such as Linwood Cem, Maas Cem, and the Old Scotch Cem. Water features like Lily Pond and Middle Pond dot the area near the village centers, while the eastern edge is defined by the proximity of Homestead and the expansive Coralville Lake. This map serves as a record of the enduring village geography and the roads, such as 220th Trl, that connect these historic sites.
