Saylorville Lake and the meandering Des Moines River dominate this 2015 perspective of the expanding suburban corridor north of Des Moines. The map details the transition from the dense residential developments of Urbandale and Johnston to the more open, aquatic landscape of the reservoir. Notable for local historians are the numerous cemeteries preserved amidst the modern growth, including McDivitt Grove Cem, Chapel Hill Gardens Cem, and Ridgedale Cem.
