2015 Map of Churdan

About this map

Churdan and the smaller settlement of Adaza anchor this central Iowa landscape, positioned at the intersection of Calhoun, Webster, and Greene Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including Hardin Cr, Reading Cr, and the specifically identified Ditch Number 28. These features reflect the systematic management of the prairie for intensive farming. Local history and genealogy are anchored at Highland Cem, located just east of the Churdan town site. The grid-like road system, with named thoroughfares such as Waukon Ave and Zearing Ave, highlights the highly organized township structure of the mid-2010s, while smaller streams like Happy Run continue to carve through the expansive fields of the Iowa plains.
