2010 Map of Brooklyn

About this map

Brooklyn serves as the central hub of this Poweshiek County landscape, situated where the terrain is carved by the winding paths of Big Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek. The community's organizational history is evidenced by the International Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery and the Brooklyn Post Office, while the surrounding rural township is marked by several family and community burial grounds including Harmony Cemetery and Lytle Cemetery. To the north, the Val-Air Airport sits near the confluence of Stony Creek and the Bear Creek drainage system. The southern portion of the quadrangle transitions toward the North English River, with a rigid grid of agricultural roads like Old 6 RD and 450th Ave defining the modern land use patterns. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of water drainage to the local economy, from the Dugout Creek in the southwest to the Cub Creek valley in the east.
