2009 Map of Brazilton

About this map

Brazilton and Greenbush anchor this Crawford County landscape, where the prairie is defined by a grid of rural section roads and the meandering paths of three primary watercourses. The local heritage is remarkably preserved through its burial grounds, including the Lutheran Cemetery in the north and the Iowa Cemetery near the center of the sheet, reflecting the cultural settlement patterns of the region. Lightning Creek drains the eastern portion of the terrain, while Elm Creek and Hickory Creek cut through the western reaches. This 2009 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey captures the quiet agricultural character of the area, punctuated by small clusters of development and well-established family-named sites like the Spangler Cemetery and Mills Cemetery.
