2010 Map of Baxter

About this map

The town of Baxter serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, where the Baxter Post Office remains a central landmark for the local community. The surrounding countryside is defined by an extensive network of cemeteries that speak to the long-standing family roots in the area, including Restland Cemetery near the town center and the outlying Union Chapel Cemetery and Independence Cemetery. The terrain is characterized by the drainages of Turkey Creek, Clear Creek, and Prairie Creek, which carve through the grid of agricultural roads.
