2013 Map of Croton

About this map

The Des Moines River carves a diagonal path through this borderland, where the small settlements of Croton and Athens face one another across the water. This 2013 survey illustrates a quiet agricultural landscape defined by a network of drainage creeks and rural roads that connect local hubs like Peaksville in the south and Dumas in the southeast. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex series of waterways, including Cedar Cr and Lick Cr, which flow through the undulating countryside toward the primary river valley. The map details a sophisticated grid of county highways and local routes, such as Belfast Rd and Croton Rd, which have long served the farming communities and residents along the Iowa and Missouri state line.
