2013 Map of Neola

About this map

Neola and Minden anchor this rural landscape in Pottawattamie County, positioned along the transport corridors of Western Iowa. The settlement pattern reflects the agricultural grid, with long stretches of rural roads like Whippoorwill Rd and Tamarack Rd connecting isolated farmsteads and small communities. The drainage system is particularly well-defined, showing the paths of Mosquito Cr and Keg Cr as they cut through the terrain. Smaller locales such as Bentley and York Center mark the southern reaches of the area, providing evidence of the distributed nature of local centers in the early twenty-first century. This topography shows the balance between interstate development and the traditional road network, including family-named arteries like Warrior Ln and Thor Ln that branch off the main thoroughfares.
