2010 Map of Depew

About this map

Depew serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Palo Alto County, where the rigid section-line road network of the Iowa plains is defined by routes like 530th Ave and 320th St. The terrain is subtly shaped by the winding course of Cylinder Creek, which meanders from the northwest toward the southeast, providing a natural break in the geometric grid of farm plots. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies several significant burial sites that mark the community's history, including the Vernon Township Cemetery in the west, the Lutheran Cemetery to the east, and Saint Johns Cemetery at the southern boundary. These features reflect the long-standing church and township foundations that have anchored this rural area through the early 21st century.
