2010 Map of Exira East

About this map

Exira sits at the western edge of this agricultural landscape in Audubon County, where the town's early footprint is anchored by the Exira Cemetery and Holy Trinity Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dendritic network of waterways, most notably Troublesome Creek and Pleasant Creek, which carve through the Iowa prairie. This 2010 survey shows the section-line road system that organizes the region, including named routes like Lark Ave and Littlefield Dr that connect dispersed farmsteads. To the south, the Bowen Cemetery serves as a lone landmark in the open fields near the winding path of Crooked Creek. This map illustrates the intersection of small-town Iowa life and the vast drainage patterns of the Missouri River watershed, capturing a moment when family-held lands and rural cemeteries remain the primary markers of the local heritage.
