About this map

The East Nishnabotna River flows through the southeastern corner of this Iowa landscape, marking a distinct change in the terrain where the structured grid of rural roads meets the winding waterways of the river basin. The border between Pottawattamie and Cass counties bisects the area, while a series of creeks including Walnut Cr, Little Walnut Cr, and Indian Creek drain the surrounding agricultural fields. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of Whipple Cem and Smith Cem provides precise landmarks for early community burial sites. The road network is defined by long, descriptive thoroughfares such as White Pole Rd, Lombardy Rd, and Hickory Rd, which connect the scattered farmsteads of the mid-20th century prairie.
