About this map

Audubon serves as the central hub of this 2015 study, situated at the intersection of critical transit corridors in Audubon County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the East Nishnabotna River and its numerous tributaries, including Bluegrass Cr and Indian Cr. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds that anchor the rural social geography, such as Maple Grove Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and the Danish Cem further south near Hamlin. These sites, along with the Seventh Day Adventist Cem, reflect the diverse denominational and ethnic settlement patterns that have shaped this portion of Iowa.

Agricultural infrastructure and regional connectivity are represented by the grid of county roads and the presence of the Audubon County Airport. Small communities like Sharon and Nishna mark the map's peripheries, while the terrain's gentle drainage is evidenced by watercourses like Lone Willow Cr and Crabapple Cr. The layout provides a precise view of early 21st-century property divisions and the enduring footprint of long-standing rural institutions.
