2019 Map of Earl Park

About this map

The town of Earl Park serves as the primary hub of this Benton County landscape, where the rectilinear grid of country roads meets a complex network of agricultural drainage. The area's history is preserved in its local burial grounds, including Earl Park Cem, Sumner Cem, and Saint John the Baptist Cem. The influence of early 20th-century rail infrastructure is visible in the alignment of Railroad St and the named transition at Yeagers Curve. Outside the main settlement, the smaller communities of Raub and Sheff anchor the northern and central sections of the map. The terrain is defined by its water management, with numerous named channels like Bouton Ditch, Kent Ditch, and Morrison Ditch Number Two funneling into natural waterways like Sugar Creek and Coon Cr.
