2022 Map of Boyden

About this map

Boyden and Hull anchor this section of Northwest Iowa, where a systematic grid of section-line roads defines the agrarian landscape. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the W Br Floyd River, which winds south through townships t97n r44w and t96n r44w, while Burr Oak Cr drains the northwestern corner near Hull. This modern survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community, evidenced by several established burial grounds including Saint Paul Lutheran Cem and Saint John Cem. The residential streets of Boyden are organized around a core that includes Main St, Webb St, and Railroad St, reflecting the historical importance of the rail corridor to the local economy. Beyond the town limits, the vast majority of the land is dedicated to agriculture, with farms accessed via a dense network of numbered streets and named avenues like Indian Ave and Jefferson Ave.
