2018 Map of Boyer

About this map

Boyer River flows diagonally through the center of this western Iowa landscape, serving as the primary drainage for a network of local tributaries including Wheeler Cr, Trinkle Cr, and Beamon Cr. The small settlement of Boyer sits at the intersection of Co Hwy E16 and Boyer Blvd, representing the primary population center in this agricultural region. The map illustrates a highly organized grid of rural roads, such as Wall Lake Rd and Co Hwy M40, which facilitate movement between the sprawling farmsteads typical of the era. The boundary between Sac Co and Crawford Co runs through the northern portion of the quadrangle, dividing the townships of T86N and T85N. This survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns of the Missouri River basin, characterized by the winding paths of Tucker Cr and Lime Cr through the loess hills.
