About this map

The West Nishnabotna River and its East Branch West Nishnabotna River converge in this agricultural region of western Iowa, shaping the local geography across the Shelby and Pottawattamie county line. The settlement of Corley sits at a crossroads in the center of the map, while the northern edge of Avoca appears at the southern boundary. This landscape is a classic example of Iowa's rural grid system, punctuated by family and township landmarks that provide vital clues for local historians and genealogists.

Several burial grounds are documented throughout the townships, including Fairview Township Cem, Lee Cem, Jacobson Cem, and Altamont Cem. Significant smaller watercourses like Dutch Br and Bedell Cr feed the larger river system, which is spanned by the Nishnabotna River Bridge. To the north, the Harlan Municipal Airport stands as a modern focal point amidst a network of established section roads like Street F58 and Co Hwy L34.
