Route Description
Iowa 98 begins in the census-designated place (CDP) of Leando at an intersection with Clay Street. East of the intersection, the road continues as Van Buren County Road V64 (CR V64) while Iowa 98 heads to the west. For the first one-fifth mile (0.32 km) of its routing, the two-lane highway runs parallel to and approximately 400 feet (120 m) from the Des Moines River. The highway then turns to the north and crosses the river. On the northern banks, it enters Douds, which is also a CDP. Douds sprawls for three-quarters mile (1.2 km), despite only having a population of 152 in the 2010 Census. Iowa 98 continues north for another three-quarters mile (1.2 km) until it reaches Iowa 16. North of the intersection, the road continues again as CR V64. The entire route has an annual average daily traffic of 1060 vehicles.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
