2018 Map of Oakland

About this map

Oakland serves as the focal point of this western Iowa landscape, situated along the banks of the West Nishnabotna River. The town's grid is clearly defined, featuring streets such as Chautauqua Ave, Palmer ST, and Walnut St, reflecting the community's development east of the waterway. Historically significant burial sites are well-documented across the township lines, including Oaklawn Cem near the town center, Big Grove Cem to the northwest, and Belknap Cem further south. The surrounding terrain is characterized by a network of drainage creeks, including Silver Cr, Slocum Cr, and Mud Cr, which dictate the placement of rural section roads like Lombardy Rd and Dogwood Rd. Local aviation is represented by Ridge Airport and Volkens Field, small facilities that underline the rural transportation infrastructure of Pottawattamie County during this period.
