2018 Map of Baxter

About this map

The town of Baxter serves as the primary hub in this Jasper County landscape, situated at the intersection of W Station St and E State St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, including the westward-flowing Clear Cr and the winding Turkey Cr, which cuts diagonally across the central sections. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies a high concentration of small burying grounds dispersed among the rural sections, such as Flock Cem, Barbee Cem, and Restland Cem. Further south, the settlement of Ira sits along Hwy F24 W, marking another node in the agricultural grid. This survey provides a precise look at the land division between Story, Marshall, and Jasper Counties, where major thoroughfares like Marshalltown Blvd cross the county lines near Crab Tree Lake.
