2013 Map of Mondamin

About this map

Mondamin sits at the edge of the floodplains, where the western Iowa landscape is defined by the shifting course of the Missouri River and an extensive network of drainage infrastructure. This 2013 survey illustrates a complex hydraulic environment where natural features like Sandy Point Bend and Bullard Bluff meet engineered waterways such as the Soldier River Cutoff, Burcham Ditch, and Spooner Ditch. These channels represent decades of land management designed to reclaim and protect the fertile bottomlands for agriculture. Near the river, the Remington Boat Launch provides access to the water, while the presence of Horseshoe Lake and the Old Soldier River Ditch to the south mark the remnants of earlier river paths and historical drainage projects. The grid of rural roads, including Canton Ave and Fillmore Ave, connects the localized farming interests to the primary transportation corridor passing through the heart of the region.
