About this map

Coon Rapids anchors the southern edge of this West Central Iowa landscape, where the Middle Raccoon River carves a winding path through Carroll County. The grid of rural roads, including the historically named Stagecoach Rd, organizes a landscape defined by its waterways and agricultural tracts. In the northwest, the small settlement of Carrollton sits near the river's bend, north of the Old Carrollton Cemetery.

Genealogists can trace local history through several burial grounds, from Oak Hill Cemetery near the river banks to Union Cemetery and Coon Rapids Cemetery further south. The drainage of the land is meticulously documented, showing the transition from natural streams like Calamus Creek and Willow Creek to man-made infrastructure such as Drainage Ditch Number 9-13. Recreation is also noted at the Middle Raccoon River Access, providing a clear view of how the community interacted with its natural environment at the start of the decade.
