2018 Map of Churdan

About this map

Churdan sits as the primary hub in this corner of Greene County, where the grid of rural roads and section lines meets the natural drainage of the Iowa prairie. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Hardin Cr and its tributaries, including the aptly named Happy Run and Reading Cr. These waterways dictate the subtle variations in terrain across the quadrangle, which also includes the small community of Adaza to the northwest. To the east of the town center, Highland Cem serves as a significant landmark for local history and genealogical research. The map illustrates a highly organized agricultural region, where modern infrastructure like Co Hwy E19 and Co Hwy 18 E provides access to the surrounding townships and neighboring Calhoun and Webster counties.
