The Des Moines River carves a deep path through Webster County, creating a riparian landscape that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural grid. This 2010 survey highlights the rural community of Evanston, positioned between the river and Brushy Creek. To the northwest, the settlement of Coalville and a dedicated Gypsum site point to the area’s industrial character, while small hamlets like Judd and Border Plains maintain their positions along the county roads. Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the local burial grounds, including the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Border Plains Cemetery, and Blanchard Cemetery. The map also captures the intricate drainage network of the region, from the winding Prairie Creek to the engineered precision of Lateral Number 1.
