About this map

The town of Churdan anchors this section of Highland Township, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie in 2010. The settlement is clearly defined by its street grid and the presence of the Churdan Post Office, while the Highland Cemetery sits just to the northeast, offering a focal point for genealogical research in Greene County. Further north, the smaller settlement of Adaza marks another point of human geography amidst the expansive township grid.

The landscape is etched by a drainage network including Hardin Creek and Reading Creek, which meander across the surveyed sections. These waterways, along with tributaries like Happy Run and the East Fork Hardin Creek, break the rigid geometry of the county roads. The map captures the area's transition into the twenty-first century, showing the enduring structure of Iowa's rural townships and the vital connection between these small communities and their local landmarks.
