2012 Map of Eversonville

About this map

Eversonville and the surrounding rural landscape of Linn County are defined by a network of north-south flowing waterways that carve through the agricultural tablelands. The settlement patterns at Shafter and Hecla follow the section lines and the state highway corridor, illustrating the structured grid of the Midwestern prairie. Small family-linked landmarks such as the Smith Cemetery and Van Horne Cemetery are preserved amidst the fields, providing vital touchpoints for genealogical research. The drainage system is particularly intricate here, with Parson Creek and Smoky Creek meandering through the central portion of the quadrangle, while Little Muddy Creek and Coon Creek drain the western reaches. This 2012 survey captures a quiet, established farming region where local roads like Arbor Rd and Cotton Rd still mirror the 19th-century land surveys, connecting scattered farmsteads and rural junctions.
