About this map

Blairstown serves as the central hub of this Benton County landscape, situated along the east-west corridor of 77th St. The town's grid is clearly defined by streets such as Locust St NE, Cedar St NE, and Prospect St NE, reflecting a classic Midwestern agricultural settlement pattern. The surrounding territory is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Prairie Creek, which flows through the southern portion of the town, and smaller tributaries like Weasel Cr and Buffalo Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of several denominational burial grounds across the rural sections. These include Calvary Catholic Cem, Salem Cem, and Prairie Lutheran Cem, which mark the intersections of the county's numbered avenue and street grid. The preservation of these names alongside landmarks like Pleasant Hill Cem provides a clear record of the area's community identity in the early 21st century.
