About this map

The North Raccoon River serpentines through this Greene County landscape, creating a distinct riparian corridor amidst the geometric grid of the Iowa section lines. The settlement of Cooper serves as a primary local focal point, anchored by the Cooper Post Office and the nearby Franklin Cemetery. Further north, the map identifies Winkelmans, another concentrated node of development near the river's bend.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial sites, including Pleasant Hill Cemetery, Old Rippey Cemetery, Van Horn Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery, which reflect the distributed settlement patterns of the surrounding townships. The hydrology of the region is defined by several tributaries, notably Hardin Creek, Buttrick Creek, and Dead Brier Creek, while recreational or utilitarian river access is noted at the Adkins Bridge Access. The road network, comprising named thoroughfares like Quaker Ave and Freedom Trl, highlights the modern connectivity of this agricultural heartland.
