The Iowa River defines the setting of Gonoa Bluff — its floodplain and wooded banks break up the field patterns of rural Iowa County. This is a lightly settled part of eastern Iowa, where farm roads, cultivated land and river-bottom woodland set the rhythm more than urban development. The wider county is also home to the Amana Colonies, seven historic villages founded by German Pietists in 1855; their communal tradition remains an important part of the area’s identity.
