2010 Map of Rock Rapids

About this map

The Rock River and its major tributary, Kanaranzi Creek, define the topography of this northwest Iowa landscape at the start of the 21st century. The city of Rock Rapids serves as the central hub, situated where several smaller waterways including Moon Creek and Tom Creek converge. The town's infrastructure is well-documented, featuring the Rock Rapids Post Office, the Lyon County Fairgrounds, and the Rock Rapids Municipal Airport to the north. Historical and civic sites are scattered throughout the river valley, including the Melan Bridge and recreation areas such as Island Park Campground and Westside Park Campground. For those researching local heritage, the map clearly delineates the Holy Name Cemetery and Riverside Cemetery near the riverbanks. The surrounding sections show a regular grid of rural roads like Goldfinch Ave and Harding Ave, illustrating the enduring agricultural patterns of Lyon County.
