2015 Map of Dunlap SW

About this map

The Boyer River corridor dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Western Iowa landscape, cutting a wide valley through the loess hills at the meeting point of Monona, Crawford, and Harrison counties. The drainage pattern is well-defined by numerous tributaries including Willow Cr and Mud Cr, while Nelson Hollow marks a distinct relief in the northern terrain. This survey reflects a modern agricultural grid where section lines are traced by a network of local roads such as Spruce Ave and 340th St. For the local historian and genealogist, the map preserves the locations of rural burial grounds, including Cleveland Cem in the central township and Valley View Cem in the northeast corner. The land remains largely rural, divided into the traditional townships of T81N R42W and its neighbors, showing how the river valley and natural drainage continue to influence the placement of transportation routes and property boundaries.
