2013 Map of Shenandoah West

About this map

Shenandoah anchors the southeast corner of this western Page County landscape, where the residential grid meets the expansive agricultural reaches of southwestern Iowa. The E Nishnabotna River winds through the southern portion of the map, carving a path through the predominantly rectangular survey of country roads and section lines. This 2013 survey illustrates the sparse, rural nature of the region, punctuated by small named localities such as Farmer City, Corey, and Summit. These locations represent the enduring settlement patterns of the tallgrass prairie era, even as modern infrastructure like the Shenandoah Municipal Airport and the Fiftyliner Motel and Campgrounds serve contemporary travelers. Tributaries including Walnut Cr, Honey Cr, and Hunter Br drain the rolling farmland, while a network of numbered avenues and streets like Co Hwy-J26 and 120th St connect the isolated farmsteads that define the area's social and economic character.
