About this map

The Shell Rock River meanders across this rural section of north-central Iowa, shaping the landscape near the small settlement of Aureola. This part of the state exhibits a transition from upland prairie to the more defined drainage basins of several small tributaries, including Beemis Creek, Ackley Creek, and Coldwater Creek. The map documents a highly structured grid of section-line roads, such as Floyd Line St and Hickory Ave, which define the agricultural character of the region.

Genealogists and local historians will find interest in the precise location of Haselroad Cemetery near the southern border, as well as the small settlement of Scott and the Knoop Airport on the western edge of the quadrangle. These landmarks, along with many named rural routes like Corsadally Rd and Dancer Ave, provide a detailed record of land use and community organization as it stood in the early 21st century.
