2010 Map of Charter Oak

About this map

Charter Oak serves as the central hub of this Crawford County landscape, where the town grid is defined by the Charter Oak Post Office and nearby community landmarks. The surrounding agricultural terrain is deeply etched by the drainage of the Middle Soldier River and East Soldier River, with smaller tributaries like Emigrant Creek cutting through the section lines. This area preserves a significant genealogical record through its numerous burial grounds, including the Saint John Cemetery, Saint Boniface Cemetery, and the Charter Oak Cemetery clustered near the main settlement. Further east, the Bockelmann Family Cemetery sits among the farmsteads, illustrating the private family legacies typical of rural Iowa. To the southeast, the small settlement of Kenwood marks the transition toward Willow Creek, anchored by a network of gravel roads such as Kenwood Rd and 180th St.
