As you are probably aware, Iowa has been losing Representatives, as its population has not grown with the national growth rate. So Kingโ€™s district today is rather large in area, covering parts of the state that formerly may have not been so atavistic.

Wikipedia has a set of district maps from 1973-present. Back in 1973, Iowa had six districts. Today they have four.

Steve Kingโ€™s district includes Council Bluffs (the large city opposite Omaha) and a whole lot of rural area.
