We've already teased Des Moines' most iconic landmark in the Iowa DLC announcement - the State Capitol, featured prominently in the graphic. This striking building, known for its golden dome, was completed in 1886 and showcases the Greek Revival architectural style. Make sure to admire its beauty when passing by!
Of course, the State Capitol isn't the only landmark our map and asset teams have brought to life. You'll be able to drive through downtown Des Moines and spot several faithfully recreated locations, including the local sports arena, administrative buildings, bridges (such as the Iowa Women of Achievement Bridge), and even some local art, all carefully designed to reflect their real-world counterparts.
If you head north from the Capitol, you'll spot a local liberal arts university founded in the late 19th century. Its campus blends classical and modern architectural styles, making it a distinctive and eye-catching part of the cityscape.
When it comes to job opportunities for truckers, Des Moines offers two main logistics hubs for pickups and deliveries. In the northern area, you'll find a construction and a shopping mall depot, along with a key local tire factory that features a unique office building suspended above the road. The southern logistics zone is home to a chemical plant in need of regular supplies. In addition, there's a grain elevator and train service depot in the city that both require your hauling expertise.
We hope you are excited to visit this metropolitan hub in Iowa! If you do, make sure to
