About this map

The city of Boone serves as the focal point of this east-central Iowa survey, revealing a landscape where the grid of city streets meets the sprawling agricultural sections of Boone County. The eastern reach of the city is anchored by the Boone Municipal Airport and thoroughfares like Mamie Eisenhower Av. Outside the city limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Prairie Creek, Big Creek, and the dual branches of North Onion Creek and South Onion Creek, which carve winding paths through the surrounding farmland.

Small rural clusters and historic sites offer significant value for genealogists, including the hamlets of Jordan and Ericson. Local history is preserved at several burial grounds, most notably the Squire Boone Cemetery to the south and Mitchell Cemetery in the north. The presence of the Sarah Dinwoodie Dam indicates water management infrastructure that has shaped the local hydrology, while the strictly organized section lines of the Public Land Survey System underscore the region's deep roots in the American agrarian tradition.
