2015 Map of Viola Center

About this map

Viola Center sits at the heart of this rural landscape, serving as the primary hub for a region defined by its intricate drainage networks and gridded agricultural roads. The survey reveals a terrain carved by the headwaters of several significant Iowa waterways, including the E Nishnabotna River and the S Raccoon River. These rivers, along with smaller tributaries like Beaver Cr and Davids Cr, dictate the movement across the countryside, where section lines are maintained by a dense web of gravel routes like Pheasant Ave and 140th St. For those documenting local heritage, the map identifies two key burial grounds: the Viola Center Cem located just north of the town site and the Luccocks Grove Cem near the southern boundary. This 2015 update provides a modern spatial context for these longstanding landmarks within the northern part of Audubon County.
