About this map

Arispe sits at the heart of this Southern Iowa landscape, situated along a north-south transportation corridor that follows the ridge lines between major drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and meandering branches of several significant watercourses, including the E Fork Grand River, Twelvemile Cr, and Sand Cr. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent grid of rural roads, such as Nighthawk Ave and Pheasant Ave, that navigate the complex topography of the Grand River basin.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several notable landmarks preserved in the digital record, specifically the Abel Cem in the northeastern section and Bever Cem to the southwest. The map documents the precise boundary between Union and Ringgold counties, marked by Ringgold Union St, showing how modern infrastructure respects long-standing administrative divisions. Smaller tributaries like Hackberry Cr and Squaw Cr further detail the intricate hydrology that has shaped the agricultural development of the region.
