About this map

The agrarian landscape of Washington County is defined by its rectilinear road grid and the winding paths of its drainage systems, most notably East Fork Crooked Creek and West Fork Crooked Creek. The settlement of Crawfordsville serves as a primary hub, with the Crawfordsville Post Office and Crawfordsville Cemetery anchoring the local community. To the south, the village of Olds sits near the intersection of the county line, featuring its own Olds Post Office and the nearby North Wayne Cemetery.

For genealogists, this 2010 survey is a dense resource for burial site locations, documenting numerous family and community grounds including the Fern Cliff Evangelic Cemetery, Benson Cemetery, and Friends Cemetery. These sites are often tucked away from the main thoroughfares, such as Noble which is situated near Williams Creek. The interplay between the modern highway system and the natural waterways like Sugar Creek and Big Slough Creek highlights the enduring rural character of this corner of Iowa.
