2010 Map of Aurelia

About this map

The town of Aurelia sits at the heart of this Cherokee County agricultural landscape, defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of local waterways. The community is anchored by the Aurelia Post Office and the nearby Pleasant Hill Cemetery, providing a clear view of the town's structural layout in the early 21st century. To the west and south, the Maple River and its various tributaries, including Maple Creek and Pitcher Creek, carve across the prairie, while Larson Lake and Coonley Creek mark the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The map documents the persistent agricultural grid established by routes like Pitcher Dr and Wood Chip Rd, showing the relationship between small-town Iowa infrastructure and the natural drainage patterns of the region.
