2015 Map of Blairstown

About this map

Blairstown serves as the central hub for this portion of the Iowa countryside, situated where the grid of county roads and sections meets the meandering course of Prairie Creek. The map reveals a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and communal anchors, with five distinct burial grounds marking the history of local congregations and families. These include Salem Cem in the north and Calvary Catholic Cem further west, alongside Saint John's Lutheran Cem, Prairie Lutheran Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The natural drainage of the region is traced by several small waterways such as Mud Cr, Weasel Cr, and Buffalo Cr, which cut through the surveyed sections. Within the town limits, specific street names like Prospect St NE and Cross St SE provide a fine-grained look at the residential layout of this Benton County community.
