Well, first, find a river.  Next, drive along it.  That's where the scenery is
in the midwest (for the most part) IMHO.  Example:  The Great River Road, which
follows the Mighty Mississippi from Minnesota to Louisiana (?).  I have driven
this from Minnesota to Missouri, and in the fall offers spectacular foliage
views.  Sometimes curvy, usually with a grand veiw of the huge river basin,
especially in northern Iowa around the Effigy Mounds and Yellow River Forest
areas.  Interesting old river towns along the route, also.  A good weekend
vacation.
