2015 Map of Boone East

About this map

The eastern edges of Boone and its surrounding agricultural landscape are documented in this 2015 survey, where the transition from urban streets to rural section lines is clearly marked. Significant family and community history is anchored by several burial grounds, including the Mitchell Cem in the north and the Squire Boone Cem near the southern border. The city's eastern expansion is represented by the Boone Municipal Airport and the Des Moines Area Community Coll Boone Campus, situated just north of the Big Cr drainage. Outside the city limits, the map traces the rural settlements of Jordan and Ericson, which sit along the established rail and road corridors. A network of waterways, including Prairie Cr, Lundys Cr, and the north and south forks of Onion Creek, reveals the natural drainage patterns of these central Iowa plains.
