2013 Map of Blakesburg

About this map

Blakesburg serves as the primary hub in this rural landscape of southeastern Iowa, showing a grid of streets including W Polk St and E State St near the county line. The surrounding territory is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, most notably Soap Creek and S Avery Creek, which have shaped the placement of farm-to-market roads like Co Rd-H49. The small settlement of Brompton sits to the west, marking a quiet junction in an area where the terrain transitions from agricultural uplands to the wooded draws of Boyd Branch and Little Soap Creek. This 2013 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary rural road system and watercourses that have dictated the region's agricultural layout for generations.
