A decade ago, when I was making a new map for Wapsie Valley for a directions booklet, I erred in the directions from Traer. I wrote “US 20 W” instead of “E”. While a minor thing, I feel it’s only right to fess up to such a long oversight.
I had occasion to revisit the issue because North Tama plays at Wapsie Valley Friday. The school isn’t at Fairbank, but at the intersection of county roads V56 and C50 southeast of Readlyn. (In addition, I reversed the order of direction alternatives on the page. There’s little need to take US 63 through Waterloo when US 20 and V49 are much faster.)
The entire booklet, detailing locations of dozens of schools in eastern and central Iowa, can be downloaded here.
