Riverboat on the Missouri Mural

Overview

Created by artist Luis Valle, “Riverboat on the Missouri” celebrates the landscapes and transportation history that helped shape Council Bluffs. The mural features a riverboat traveling along the Missouri River, the iconic Loess Hills rising in the background, a railroad double-swing bridge, and a vibrant Iowa sunset. Located in downtown Council Bluffs, the artwork serves as a colorful tribute to the community's connections to the river, railroads, and the natural beauty of western Iowa.

The mural is a part of an Iowa West Foundation initiative to create a cultural trail throughout downtown Council Bluffs. Iowa West partnered with Availa Bank and Western Iowa Mutual Insurance to find the mural.
