Yorkshire occupies a rural position in western Iowa’s rolling loess country, within Pottawattamie County. The Loess Hills, formed from windblown silt, are a distinctive landform along the eastern side of the Missouri River valley and distinguish this area from Iowa’s flatter agricultural interior. Around Yorkshire, cultivated fields, farmsteads and tree shelterbelts define a working Midwestern landscape rather than an urban centre. Council Bluffs, the county seat, lies farther southwest on the Missouri River and is known for its role in 19th-century westward travel.
