2018 Map of Cleghorn

About this map

Cleghorn and Meriden anchor this portion of Cherokee County, illustrating the enduring agricultural patterns of northwestern Iowa. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of the W Fork Little Sioux River and several tributaries including Whiskey Creek, Willow Creek, and Rock Creek. The survey reveals a meticulously planned section-line road grid, where primary routes like Co Hwy C16 and Co Hwy L40 facilitate transport between the two primary settlements. For those investigating regional heritage, the map identifies specific points of interest such as Liberty Cem and Meriden Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive farm fields. The presence of Leos Pond and the winding course of Mill Creek in the northeast corner highlight the varied water features that interrupt the geometric precision of the surrounding rural acreage.
