| Narrative | narrative | text | The 70-mile Iowa Valley Scenic Byway meanders across the Iowa River valley through the three counties of Tama, Benton and Iowa in east central Iowa. This 68-mile route, its rolling landscape and locally quarried limestone structures, was an inspiration for Iowa’s artist, Grant Wood. In the 1930s, Wood portrayed the community of Stone City (a few miles west of Anamosa) and surrounding countryside in celebrated works, such as “Stone City” and “Fall Plowing." Found in western Iowa, the 140-mile route begins at Stuart in Guthrie County and spans the four counties of Guthrie, Audubon, Shelby and Harrison. The landscape along this 44-mile Iowa Scenic Byway rolls and slopes in uneven steps to the Maquoketa River Valley in the southern half of Delaware County. From fields of corn and forested riverbanks to limestone outcroppings and boulders of glacial origin, the traveler finds varied visual pleasure and historic treasures. Jefferson Highway Heritage Byway stretches between Northwood and Lamoni, roughly along U.S. Highways 65 and 69. The historic north-south U.S. border-to-border route was originally envisioned in 1916 as part of a national corridor for car and freight travel as the auto age developed before the Interstate system existed. Here and there you can find roadside motels, famous hotels and remnants of tourist stops and auto travel of the era. view top 100 |
