2022 Map of Corley

About this map

Corley sits at the heart of this Western Iowa agricultural landscape, where the valley of the West Nishnabotna River meets its East Branch. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of East Branch West Nishnabotna River and smaller tributaries like Dutch Br and Bedell Cr, which carve through the uplands between the townships. Evidence of early settlement and community history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Fairview Township Cem and Cuppys Grove Cem. To the north, the Harlan Municipal Airport serves the regional hub of Harlan, while the southern edge of the map reaches the outskirts of Avoca. The structured grid of rural roads, such as Co Hwy F66 and Maple Rd, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating the enduring influence of the original land partitions on modern transport and farming patterns.
