About this map

Walford stands at the northern edge of this landscape, marking the transition from the upland divides of Linn and Benton counties toward the wide valley of the Iowa River. The central portion of the map is defined by the unique settlement pattern of the Amana Colonies, featuring East Amana and Amana itself. The relationship between the communal heritage of these villages and the surrounding agriculture is evident in the dense network of rural roads like Amana Rd NW and 220th Trl.

Several family and community burial sites, including Hala Cem, Castek Cem, and the Spicer-Spooner Cem, provide critical points of interest for genealogical research across the county lines. The southern reaches are dominated by the wetlands and seasonal waters of Matson Pond and Holdens Pond near Homestead, where the river's slow passage has created a complex drainage system fed by tributaries like Knapp Cr and Rhine Cr.
