2013 Map of Waukee

About this map

Van Meter and Booneville anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the Raccoon River and its various forks converge. The waterway is the dominant geographical influence, joined by tributaries like Bulger Cr and Sugar Cr. The map reveals a transition between established town grids and modern suburban expansion, particularly around the southern edge of Waukee. While older settlements like Ortonville maintain their place in the rural fabric, new residential networks such as Prospect Cir and Hidden Valley Dr signal shifting land use patterns in the early 21st century. Recreational and environmental management is evident through designated areas like Puckerbrush Access and Booneville Access, which preserve public entry to the riverbanks amidst the surrounding agricultural and developing terrain.
