2013 Map of Oakland Acres

About this map

Oakland Acres sits at the heart of this central Iowa landscape, positioned north of the primary transit corridor that cuts across the prairie. The geography is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, including Sugar Cr, Turner Cr, and Rock Cr, all draining toward the N Skunk River in the south. In the northwestern corner, Rock Creek Lake provides a significant water feature, its irregular shoreline contrasting with the rigid grid of rural roads like Co Hwy-T38 and Joy St. This 2013 survey illustrates the intersection of modern interstate travel and established local agricultural life. While the small settlement of Westfield appears to the east, the map is largely a study of rural land divisions and the natural drainage patterns of Jasper County. Notable road names such as Killdeer Ave and Justice Ave define the local grid, marking out the territory between the creeks and the river valley.
