A statewide map of the 50 state Senate districts in the 1893 elections is provided by the Iowa General Assembly here.

The general election took place on November 7, 1893. [1]

Following the previous election, Democrats had control of the Iowa Senate with 25 seats to Republicans' 24 seats and one seat held by the People's Party.

To claim control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans needed to net 2 Senate seats.

Republicans claimed control of the Iowa State Senate following the 1893 general election with the balance of power shifting to Republicans holding 34 seats, Democrats having 16 seats, and the People's Party losing its lone seat (a net gain of 10 seats for Republicans).
