About this map

New Albin serves as the northern gateway to Iowa, situated where the bluff-lined valley meets the expansive wetlands of the Mississippi River floodplain. This 2013 survey reveals a landscape defined by water and drainage, with the Upper Iowa River meandering through the center of the map before its confluence with the larger river system. The town's grid is anchored by Main St and Ross Ave, while its eastern edge is bounded by the New Albin Big Lake Public Hunting Area.

Significant ecological features such as Pool Slough, Wood Slough, and Duck Lake illustrate the complex backwater environment. For local historians, the inclusion of Kains Siding along the rail corridor highlights the importance of transportation in this riverfront community. The surrounding terrain is marked by numerous named drainages, including Irish Hollow Cr and Clark Cr, which carve through the high ground west of the settlement.
