Why Iowa matters on this site
Iowa is now the first true western restart beyond Illinois and the first western state on the site that reads as a practical cross-state Route 20 corridor instead of a distant planned placeholder.
It now covers a readable east-to-west backbone from the Mississippi crossing at Dubuque through Dyersville, Manchester, Independence, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Iowa Falls, Fort Dodge, Webster City, Williams, Sac City, Early, Moville, and Sioux City.
