2010 Map of Alexander

About this map

Alexander forms the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Franklin County, characterized by a highly organized section-line road grid. The town is marked by its essential civic services, including the Alexander Post Office and the nearby Alexander Cemetery. Further north, Holland Cemetery serves as another focal point for family researchers tracing the area's rural heritage. This 2010 survey reflects a modern prairie drainage system, where natural watercourses like Otter Creek and Buffalo Creek are supplemented by man-made infrastructure such as Ditch Number 146. The landscape is dominated by large-scale farming, evidenced by the regular intervals of roads like Cardinal Ave and Dogwood Ave that facilitate access across this portion of northern Iowa.
