It is located along U.S. Route 65, which is a major road. Liberty Center is south of Indianola, which is the main city and county seat of Warren County. The area is about 1,024 feet (312 meters) above sea level. Even though it's not a city, Liberty Center has its own post office. This post office has been open for a very long time, since March 7, 1865.
