2013 Map of Aplington

About this map

Aplington and Austinville serve as the primary settlement hubs in this Butler County landscape, connected by the corridor of Highway 57. The area is defined by a dense network of hydrologic features, most notably the winding course of Beaver Cr and its various tributaries including N Beaver Cr and Gran Cr. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where long thoroughfares such as Cedar Ave and Grand Ave intersect with numbered east-west routes like 300th St and 330th St. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the complex drainage patterns of the N Fork S Beaver Cr and Middle Fork S Beaver Cr illustrate the subtle topography of the Iowa prairie. This modern survey provides an exact record of the residential street layouts in Aplington, including Nash St and Glenn St, alongside the rural lane system that supports the region's farming economy.
