2018 Map of Crawfordsville

About this map

Crawfordsville stands as the primary hub in this corner of southeastern Iowa, situated just north of the Washington Co Henry Co line. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of Crooked Creek and its branches, including West Fork Crooked Creek and East Fork Crooked Creek, which carve deep contours into the surrounding farmland. This agricultural area is anchored by smaller communities like Olds and the settlement of Noble, with a high density of rural burial grounds that offer significant genealogical value. Family researchers will find several notable sites, such as North Wayne Cem near the southern border and the Fern Cliff Evangelic Cem tucked near Fern Cliff Rd. The grid of section roads, from 282nd St down to 120th St, provides a precise framework for locating ancestral homesteads and legacy farmsteads across the townships.
