West Des Moines Atlas

Parks

32 of 33 identified municipal directory entries mapped, plus two regional parks. Hidden Point awaits verified location. 31 municipal park footprints and one address anchor (Nellie Phenix); anchors are not park footprints.

Healthcare

37 verified premises / 41 provider records: 31 matched containing-building footprints and six location anchors. This is not every medical building.

Areas

Eight approximate named-area overlays. Medical Mile’s exact full boundary is not established; the road-bounded WDM core is explicitly approximate.

Water

Six matched water-surface polygons; public recreational access separately sourced. Public access is not public ownership. Missing surface geometry is not filled in.

Schools & campuses

32 mapped education locations: public school campuses and an HSAP program site, private schools, documented preschools, colleges and universities. Shared programs are not duplicate campuses. Private/preschool coverage is not exhaustive; school district lines are separate. Inventory and remaining gaps · Location data and geometry attribution.

County & school district lines

Four counties and six unified school districts intersect the dated Census city extent. January 1, 2026 geography; district lines do not determine individual school attendance or enrollment eligibility.

City facilities & libraries

21 named public locations: 18 building footprints, 2 venue/campus outlines and 1 approximate Water Works customer-service address. Covers18 of 20 entries on the July 2025 City street-map facility index, plus 2 separately verified additions. Bathhouse unresolved; no operational water-plant geometry or access is shown. Main library and one kiosk service—not two library buildings.

Medical campus roads

Five sourced connecting-road reaches emphasize60th Street, 59th Place, University Avenue, Westown Parkway and NW 128th Street into Clive. Address-reference ends are not entrances or the exact full Medical Mile limits.

Park amenities & buildings

186 explicitly tagged amenities across27 parks. Current opening, public access, accessibility and drinking-water quality are not confirmed. 22,754 reconciled building footprints are contextual, nonselectable and excluded from destination counts. Sources include2025 FEMA imagery,2020 Microsoft imagery and dated OSM mapping; current completeness is not established.

Parking & crossings

25 mapped parking features,24 tagged crossings and3 Athene bridge/approach segments. These are not verified public parking, accessible entrances or safe-route guidance.

Bike trails

117 DOT source segments grouped into 58 named records. Text “Open” conflicts with the numeric status domain; these are inventory routes, not a live closure check. Some City-tagged records include regional geometry beyond city limits.

Proposed trail alignments

No defensible proposed-line geometry was acquired. This does not mean no trails are proposed. Verified alignment will be dotted; existing inventory geometry is solid.

• Marathon Loop / Raccoon River East Greenway: planning/design appears in City capital-program records; exact alignment and current completion remain unverified.
• Raccoon River Park–Great Western Trail connection: feasibility study discussed April 20, 2026; not an approved mapped alignment.
