2018 Map of Panora

About this map

The Middle Raccoon River carves a winding path through this corner of Guthrie and Dallas counties, anchoring the regional geography alongside the significant waters of Lake Panorama. The landscape reflects a transition from the structured street grid of Panora to the smaller settlement of Linden to the southeast. Much of the terrain is defined by its agricultural layout, intersected by the Raccoon River Valley Trl, which follows a clear corridor through the river valley. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Greenwood Cem near the town center and the more isolated Brethren Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. Named water features like Mosquito Cr and Bay Br drain the surrounding fields, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that have shaped the development of these rural Iowa communities.
