About this map

Graybill Cr and Jordan Cr carve a pattern of drainage across this section of Pottawattamie County, defining the agricultural landscape of western Iowa. The map reveals a strict rectilinear grid of rural roads, including Magnolia Rd, Lombardy Rd, and Elmtree Rd, which follow the section lines established by the Public Land Survey System. These corridors connect the rolling farmsteads found in Townships t76n r39w and t75n r39w. The land use is almost entirely dedicated to cultivation, with minor tributaries like Spring Cr and Farm Cr feeding into the larger creek systems that eventually move toward the Missouri River basin. This survey provides a clear view of modern land division and the persistent reliance on a thoroughfare network that remains largely unchanged since the initial settlement period.
