2018 Map of Alloway Creek

About this map

The North Skunk River defines the southwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, where the borders of Marshall and Jasper Counties meet. This terrain is carved by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Alloway Creek, Potatoe Creek, and Rock Creek, which drain the agricultural uplands. Evidence of early community settlement is preserved in the location of the German Society Methodist Cemetery and the Rushville Cemetery, providing significant anchor points for genealogical research in these rural townships. The map illustrates a strictly gridded system of section roads like N 83rd Ave E and 340th St, typical of the Midwest's rural organization. Near the center, Ken Wolfe Lake serves as a distinct landmark amidst the rolling drainage basins of W Burr Oak Creek and Coon Creek.
