The corridor area defined here recognizes the
general area of visitor experience on the Iowa
Valley Scenic Byway. The corridor boundary is
not a regulatory determination or definition and
is not intended to exclude sites, organizations, or
individuals from participating in IVSB planning.

The Iowa Valley Scenic Byway corridor boundary
is situated in portions of four Iowa counties:
southwest Benton, northern Iowa, northeast
Poweshiek, and southern Tama. Nearly all of the
Meskwaki Settlement and the seven villages of the
Amana Historic District (Amana, East Amana, High
Amana, Homestead, Middle Amana, South Amana,
and West Amana) are situated within the Byway
corridor’s boundary. Several incorporated towns are
also within its reaches. Moving from west to east,
these are Montour, Tama, Toledo, Chelsea, Vining,
Elberon, Belle Plaine, Ladora, and Marengo. Other
unincorporated settlements, again from west to
east, include Gladstone, Haven, Irving, and Koszta.

Specific locations in Benton County include parts
of Leroy, Iowa, and Kane townships (respectively,
T82N-R11–12W, T83N-R12W). In Iowa County,
parts of eight townships lie within the Corridor
boundaries: Iowa, Hilton, Sumner, Hartford, Lenox,
Washington, Marengo, and Honey Creek (T80N-
R9-12W, T81N-R9–12W). Parts of Poweshiek
County’s Jefferson, Madison, and Sheridan
townships (T80N-R13–15W) are in the IVSB
boundary. Finally, nine Tama County townships that
are partially included are Salt Creek, Otter Creek,
Columbia, Highland, York, Richland, Tama/Toledo,
Indian Village, and Carlton (T81N-R13–16W, T82N-
R13–16W, T83N-R16W).
