2015 Map of Dows East

About this map

Iowa River valley and the adjacent prairie lands of Wright and Franklin Counties are documented in this 2015 topographic survey. The settlement of Dows sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, where the river winds through the landscape. To the northeast, the community of Coulter anchors the agricultural grid, which is strictly defined by an extensive network of range and section line roads such as Wright Ave and 140th St. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several rural burial grounds, including Saint Peter's Lutheran Cem, Mount Hope Cem, and Olson Cem. The drainage of the land is visible through small tributaries like Maynes Cr, illustrating how the natural hydrology interacts with the established township boundaries of T92N R22W and T91N R22W.
