Route Description
Iowa Highway 37 begins at an intersection with Iowa Highway 175 (Iowa 175) east of Turin and adjacent to Iowa 175's crossing of the Maple River. The first 11⁄2 miles (2.4 km) of the route are included in the Loess Hills Scenic Byway. The highway travels east and then southeast through the Loess Hills, a region of dunes east of the Missouri River created by wind-deposited silt from the Missouri River valley. At Soldier, Iowa 37 exits the Loess Hills and meets Iowa 183. From Soldier, the highway travels 13 miles (21 km) to the southeast to Dunlap. In Dunlap, Iowa 37 overlaps U.S. Route 30 (US 30) for 1⁄4 miles (0.40 km). Eastbound Iowa 37 overlaps westbound US 30; this phenomenon is known as a wrong-way concurrency. Between Dunlap and Earling, Iowa 37 travels in a stair-step path to the south and east for 13 miles. At Earling, the highway intersects the northern end of Iowa 191. Its last section is 4 miles (6.4 km) long, connecting Earling to US 59.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
