About this map

Cass Centre and Galion stand as central points within this southwestern Cass County landscape, where a sophisticated grid of rural roads connects scattered farmsteads across the undulating prairie. The drainage pattern is defined by several significant watercourses, including the westward-flowing Turkey Cr and the winding reaches of Lone Tree Br. Toward the southern edge of the quadrangle, Fourmile Cr and Sevenmile Cr traverse the terrain, creating a series of valleys that break the agricultural regularity of the section lines. This 2013 survey illustrates a late-modern era of Iowa farming, where named roads like Memphis Rd and Pella Rd follow the original township and range surveys, while smaller tributaries such as Hoyts Br and Bear Br continue to shape the local topography and land use.
