^Looking east down Iowa 7 from Iowa 4 south of Pomeroy, May 2022.

Iowa Route 7 is an east-west route in northwestern Iowa, serving as an intermediary thoroughfare between Iowa Route 3 and US Route 20.  The route has a slight northwest-southeast angle, connecting Cherokee to Fort Dodge in the grand scheme of things.  The northwestern end is at Iowa Route 3 just east of Cherokee.  The eastern end is at US Route 169 on the western edge of Fort Dodge, at an interchange just north of US Route 20.  Iowa Route 7 is the main route through Storm Lake, and it also serves other small towns like Newell, Manson, and Pomeroy.

My photo for Iowa Route 7 is the northwestern end marker, just east of Cherokee.  Iowa Route 3 runs across the background of the photo, and the town of Cherokee lies just to the left (west).  My photo for Iowa Route 3 was taken on the western leg of the same intersection featured in the photo.  The image you see was snapped in September 2019 as part of the northern Iowa trip.
