2010 Map of Viola Center

About this map

Viola Center sits at the heart of this rural Audubon County landscape, serving as a primary point of reference for local history and genealogy. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, most notably the winding course of the East Nishnabotna River in the west and the South Raccoon River toward the east. This area represents a classic Iowa agricultural grid, where roads like Nighthawk Ave and 140th St divide the land into tidy sections. Near the central settlement, the Viola Center Cemetery provides a tangible link to the families who established these farmsteads. Several waterways including Beaver Creek, Brushy Creek, and Davids Creek bisect the township, illustrating the natural water resources that dictated early land use and the placement of the extensive local road network.
