About this map

The Boyer River corridor defines the eastern landscape of this Harrison County region, providing a natural drainage route that has long influenced the placement of local roads and property boundaries. The small settlement of Baird sits tucked against the river, a central point in an extensive grid of agricultural land connected by a network of gravel and dirt roads. These thoroughfares, such as Quay Ave and Panora Ave, cross over several significant waterways including Willow Creek, Mud Creek, and Thompson Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the placement of Cleveland Cemetery and Valley View Cemetery provides essential anchor points for tracing family lineages in this rural section of Iowa. The map illustrates a landscape of steady agricultural production and hydrological management, where the movement of water through systems like Mill Creek and Pleayune Creek remains as vital to the community as the local road network.
