I bought my point this year.
I drew last year so need to build at least one point for the area that I apply in. (muzzleloader).

I am originally from northwest Indiana and have lived in Iowa for the last 10 years, There is definitely good info on access take a look at, https://programs.iowadnr.gov/maps/m/huntingatlas/index.html it is pretty good and has public overlaid on satellite imagery. I would encourage you to go archery as the public areas in my opinion do not give a good impression of Iowa whitetail hunting during the short, high pressure gun seasons. Due to season structure most Iowa gun hunters party hunt (anyone can fill tags as long as the group has valid tags) and do so by doing large deer drives. I was surprised by this when i moved here during the first season as i was more accustomed to Indiana stand hunting and wasn't familiar with the party system.

IABoilermaker, expect a fellow Boilermaker to be hitting you up for some advice down the road.

In S. Central Iowa there are some decent public hunting spots. Some small some larger. I second, that shotgun season is pretty busy. I would recommend archery season, less pressure and can hunt in the thick of the rut. If anyone as has any question as to how or where please feel free to ask.
