About this map

Boone serves as the primary urban center for this central Iowa landscape, where the town's grid meets the expansive agricultural reaches of eastern Boone County. The map captures the transition from the concentrated streets and the Boone County Fairgrounds to the rural sections divided by a network of numbered and lettered roads like 210th St and R Ave. Family and local history is anchored in the landscape through the presence of several burial grounds, including the Mitchell Cemetery to the northeast and the Squire Boone Cemetery at the southern edge.

The hydrology of the region is defined by winding drainage patterns like North Onion Creek and Big Creek, which weave through the section lines. Small settlements and railroad-related points such as Jordan and Ericson are situated along the transit corridors. Modern utility and research interests are represented by the Boone Municipal Airport and the Iowa State University Agronomy Farm, reflecting the intersection of local aviation and the state's agricultural heritage.
