2010 Map of Conway

About this map

Conway anchors the northern edge of this Taylor County landscape, reflecting a rural Iowa community structured by a rigorous grid of section-line roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Honey Creek in the northwest and Platte Branch winding through the southeast. These waterways influence the placement of early cultural markers, including Bower Cemetery near the western boundary and the Platteville Cemetery further south. The small settlement of Platteville sits near the crossing of 280th St and Tennessee Ave, illustrating the historical importance of these rural crossroads. Researchers can trace the layout of numerous county roads, from Rockwood Ave to Winchester Ave, which provide access to the agricultural parcels that have long sustained this region.
