About this map

The town of Aurelia serves as the central hub for this portion of Northwest Iowa, where a grid of streets including Main St, Walnut St, and Myrtle St reflects the organized development of this agricultural community. Just south of the town center lies the Pleasant Hill Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Maple River and its various tributaries like Coonley Cr and Maple Cr, which cut through the drainage basins of the region.

Transport and land divisions are clearly marked by the intersection of numerous county roads, such as Co Hwy C43 and Co Hwy C63, which follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. The eastern edge of the map follows the boundary between Cherokee Co and Buena Vista Co, passing near Larson Lake and the headwaters of Pitcher Cr. This survey illustrates the modern agricultural layout of the county, preserved in its traditional township and range sections.
