well, Coast Guard on the Mississippi makes some sense to me, but I'm still stumped on this Iowa/Navy thing, unless this base sits on the river

No, it certainly doesn't sit on a river (at least as far as I can tell).

The Navy has all kinds of installations that aren't even near navigable waterways. My late mother, who was a WAVE during World War II, was almost sent to a training school in Oklahoma. As it happened, she was sent to another school in Atlanta, GA, STILL some distance from the ocean. It might make a little more sense when you realize that she was in naval AVIATION... she taught instrument navigation to Navy pilots. There were and are Naval Air Stations all over the country.
As for the Coast Guard, Federal authority was established over all navigable waterways by the Inland Waterways Act of 1880-something. Since the Mississippi River is navigable for over 1,000 miles you will find the Coast Guard there.

My god what shitty electric service risers ! they must be 2 1/2 rigid conduit size and must be anchored in to the SIDE OF THE BUILDING to support that service drop coming from the pole to the house that looks like it comes out of the roof can believe they would except such inferior SHIT for that type of work it would leak plus if I did shit like that with my license they would give me a big fat red tag and tell me to do it right
