2022 Map of Earlham West

About this map

Earlham anchors the northeast corner of this Madison County landscape, where the town grid meets the rolling agricultural terrain of central Iowa. The map reveals a land defined by its waterways and pioneer legacies, with the North River and its tributary N Br N River carving through the southern and northern sections respectively. A significant concentration of early community history is found near the center of the sheet, where Old Penn Center Cem and the Penn Center Cem sit close to one another along Pitzer Rd. Further south, the Eppard Cem overlooks a bend in the river, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists tracing families in these rural townships. The layout of the section lines and roads like Creamery Rd and Cottonwood Ave reflects the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System across the Adair County and Madison County line.
