2010 Map of Corwith

About this map

Corwith serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape in Hancock County, situated at the intersection of a rigid section-line road network. The town's civic core is anchored by the Corwith Post Office, while the surrounding rural landscape is defined by the winding course of the Boone River, which cuts across the grid in the east and south. This survey illustrates the persistent importance of township identity in north-central Iowa, notably through the placement of burial grounds like the Magor Township Cemetery, Corwith Cemetery, and Saint Marys Cemetery. Further south, the small settlement of Aldrich sits near the river's bend, marking another point of local historical interest. The map documents a classic Midwestern township structure where small-scale settlements and family cemeteries are connected by an extensive system of avenues and streets, including Xenia Ave and Echo Ave.
