About this map

Audubon serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Audubon County, Iowa, where the convergence of Bluegrass Creek and local infrastructure defines the town's character. The map details the civic and cultural life of the community through its recreational landmarks, including the Audubon County Speedway, Audubon County Fairground, and the unique Albert the Bull Campground. Small outlying settlements such as Hamlin, Nishna, and Sharon anchor the surrounding rural grid, which is deeply rooted in the region's heritage.

Genealogists will find this 2010 survey particularly valuable for its precise location of community burial grounds. Five distinct cemeteries are scattered across the quadrangle, including the Danish Cemetery near Hamlin, the Saint Patricks Cemetery south of town, and the Seventh Day Adventist Cemetery in the southern reaches. The drainage of the East Nishnabotna River and tributaries like Crabapple Creek and Elkhorn Creek provide the primary geographic relief against the steady, named road network of numbered streets and bird-named avenues.
