Missouri Valley

Missouri Valley has served as a railroad town in western Iowa since the 1860s. Set on the broad floor of the Missouri River valley, it stands between the river’s agricultural floodplain and the loess-covered hills of this part of the state. Rail corridors and highways continue to shape the city’s role in Harrison County, while Nebraska begins across the Missouri River. The surrounding Loess Hills were formed from wind-blown silt, creating the rolling relief that distinguishes western Iowa from the flatter land nearer the river. Missouri Valley reflects the practical character of the Missouri corridor: transport links, farming country and wide horizons.
