What’s on YOUR Byway?
Map what you would like to show those traveling along the Driftless Area Scenic Byway
The Developing Iowa’s Byways through GIS Technology project is underway and 24 miles of the Driftless Area Scenic Byway have already been mapped. Summer is the perfect time to travel the byway and map what YOU like and want others to see. Byway board members have been out on the byway this spring mapping historic, cultural, and scenic points of interest but we still need more volunteers to share their knowledge and expertise of the area. Please stop in or contact the RC&D to set up a time to learn how to use the GPS unit so that you can map your favorite spots along the byway.
Points of interest that still need to be mapped:
Special crop producers and roadside farm stands
Arts and cultural sites:
Top 10 viewsheds along the byway
Basic travelers services
Byway friendly businesses
And much more
Contact Deneb Woods at 563-864-7112 or via email dwoods@northeastiowarcd.org to learn more about the project and to sign up to volunteer.
