2022 Map of Coon Rapids North

About this map

The Middle Raccoon River cuts through the southwest corner of this western Iowa landscape, where the northern outskirts of Coon Rapids meet the rural township of Carrollton. The topography is defined by the drainage basins of Calamus Cr and Willow Cr, flowing toward the river through a grid of section lines and gravel roads. This modern survey preserves the locations of several burial grounds essential for genealogical research, including the Old Carrollton Cem and Oak Hill Cem near the river, as well as the Coon Rapids Cem and Union Township Cem further east. Along the Carroll and Greene County line, the agricultural infrastructure is evident in the straight course of Drainage Ditch Number 9-13, illustrating the decades-long transformation of the prairie into productive farmland. Traceable remnants of regional travel persist in labels like Stagecoach Rd, indicating the historical transit corridors that preceded the modern county highway system.
