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.

“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”

“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.”
