About this map

Dunbar Slough dominates the northwest corner of this rural Greene County landscape, illustrating the characteristic wetland and drainage patterns of the Iowa plains. The transition from natural water bodies to engineered agricultural infrastructure is evident in the presence of Drainage Ditch Number 117, which channelizes flow alongside the meandering paths of Willow Cr and Greenbrier Cr.

Local history is anchored by the isolated Willow Cem near the center of the township, a key site for genealogical research in this sparsely settled region. The map follows a strict sectional grid, defined by routes like Co HWY e53 and Co HWY e57, which connect the scattered farmsteads. This 2015 survey reflects a modern agricultural environment where long-standing landmarks like family cemeteries remain as primary indicators of the area's pioneer past.
