2018 Map of Cloverdale

About this map

Cloverdale sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in northwest Iowa, where the vast upland known as the Coteau des Prairies shapes the local drainage and topography. The map documents a highly structured section-line road network that defines the region's farming heritage, bounded at its southern edge by the Osceola Co O'Brien Co line. Water features such as the N Fork Floyd River and Kappes Cr cut through the geometric grid, indicating the natural flow of the prairie before it was settled. Genealogists will find the Goewey Township Cem an important landmark for tracing early families in Goewey Township, while the presence of named county roads like Co Hwy L40 and Co Hwy A34 illustrates the modern infrastructure connecting these rural communities.
