About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through the heart of Greene County, defining the agricultural landscape of this central Iowa region. This modern survey shows the distribution of farmstead tracts and rural infrastructure surrounding the small communities of Jefferson, Winkelmans, and Cooper. The river is joined by several significant tributaries, including Hardin Cr, Buttrick Cr, and Greenbrier Cr, which collectively dictate the local topography and drainage patterns.

Land use and recreational history are visible through the presence of the Raccoon River Valley Trl and Freedom Trl, tracing old transportation corridors through the countryside. For those researching local history, the Old Rippey Cem stands as a notable landmark on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map also clearly delineates the sectional grid system, with roads following the lines of T83N and T82N, illustrating the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on Iowa's geography.
