About this map

Ainsworth sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Washington County, anchored by the Ainsworth Post Office and the nearby Ainsworth Cemetery. The surrounding territory is defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of several waterways, including North Fork Long Creek and South Fork Long Creek. Small communities and named locales such as Haskins, Havre, and Dairy dot the countryside, reflecting the area's long-standing rural settlement patterns.

Evidence of the region's heritage is found in its scattered burial grounds, like Salem Cemetery to the north and Campground Cemetery in the southeast. Historical transportation routes are represented by the Old White Way, while the drainage of the fertile land is managed by various runs and creeks like Whiskey Run and Big Slough Creek. This survey captures the steady layout of eastern Iowa farmland and its small-town hubs at the start of the 21st century.
