2022 Map of Dows East

About this map

The Iowa River cuts through the southwestern corner of this Franklin County landscape, where the town of Dows serves as a primary local hub. The terrain is defined by a grid-like network of rural roads such as 100th Street and Dogwood Avenue, reflecting the systematic agricultural development of the Iowa plains. To the northeast, the settlement of Coulter sits near the headwaters of Maynes Creek, illustrating the scattered nature of township centers in this region. Several small burial grounds, including Saint Peters Cemetery and Mount Hope Cemetery, are preserved throughout the township sections. These sites, along with Morgan Cemetery and Olson Cemetery, provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing local family histories within the townships of t91n r22w and t92n r22w.
