2023 Map of Dallas

About this map

Dallas serves as the civic heart of this Polk County landscape, anchored by the Polk County Courthouse and a detailed grid of residential streets. The town is situated where Rickreall Creek flows eastward, surrounded by an extensive network of family-named water features like Aebi Reservoir, Domaschofsky Reservoir, and Schierling Reservoir. These numerous small impoundments suggest a history of sophisticated water management for local agriculture and industry. To the northeast, the Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge preserves the low-lying wetlands around Baskett Slough, while Mt Pisgah and Mt Baldy provide significant topographical relief. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Salt Creek Cem in the north and the Cadle Hill Embree Cem near Villa. The settlement of Ellendale sits to the west, where Ellendale Creek joins the larger drainage system.
