2010 Map of Coin

About this map

The Tarkio River and its numerous tributaries, including East Tarkio Creek and Snake Creek, carve a detailed drainage pattern across this southwestern Iowa landscape. The town of Coin serves as a primary focal point, anchored by the Coin Post Office and the nearby Elmwood Cemetery. This area of Page County is characterized by a grid of rural section roads and small, established communities that reflect the agricultural heritage of the region. Scattered throughout the townships are several family and community burial grounds, such as Posley Cemetery and Snow Hill Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The settlement of Yorktown sits in the northeast, maintaining its own identity with the Yorktown Post Office and access to Snake Creek. Smaller locales like Page Center, Norwich, and College Springs on the southern edge further define the late-twentieth-century rural settlement pattern of the Iowa prairie.
