About this map

Edgewood and the nearby community of York anchor this 2013 survey of the Iowa landscape. The region is defined by a dense network of streams and creeks that have carved distinct terrain features like Alderson Hollow in the northwest and Mossy Glen Hollow to the northeast. These drainage patterns, including Honey Cr, Bear Cr, and Lindsey Cr, influence the placement of the rural road grid, which often shifts or terminates at the water's edge.

The landscape serves as a record of agricultural and recreational land use in the early 21st century. While the town center of Edgewood is concentrated in the southeast, the surrounding area is a patchwork of rural homesteads and larger facilities like the Woods Edge Golf Course. Genealogists and local historians can use the specific placement of family-named roads and landmarks, such as Fenchel Cr and Steeles Br, to locate ancestral farmsteads or trace the development of this border region between Clayton and Delaware counties.
