2010 Map of Earling

About this map

Earling serves as the primary hub of this western Iowa landscape, situated where the Earling Post Office and Saint Joseph Cemetery mark the community's heart. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense grid of rural routes including Elmwood Rd and Street F16, which connect scattered homesteads and agricultural tracts. Waterways such as Mosquito Creek, Moser Creek, and Picayune Creek carve through the section lines, shaping the local topography and influencing the placement of smaller locales like Poma. For those researching family history in Shelby County, the presence of the Latter Day Saints Cemetery to the northwest and the recreational grounds at Camp Manteno provides significant local context. The map illustrates a contemporary rural economy where modern road infrastructure overlays a long-established pattern of midwestern settlement and drainage networks.
