About this map

The town of Exira serves as the focal point of this western Iowa landscape, situated where the terrain begins to ripple with the drainages of Davids Creek and Honey Creek. The map illustrates a well-ordered rural grid typical of the late twentieth-century Midwest, transitioning from the residential streets of the town into the rolling farmland of Greeley and Audubon townships. Significant local landmarks include the High Sch and several key burial grounds that offer valuable data for genealogists, such as Holy Trinity Cem, Grove Cem, and Bowen Cem.

South of the town center, Littlefield County Park provides a notable recreational area, featuring Public Access points and Sew Disp Ponds near the winding course of Troublesome Creek. The map also captures the southern boundary where the county line separates Audubon Co from Cass Co, showing the agricultural continuity across Benton and Grant townships. Waterways like Pleasant Creek and Crooked Creek further define the drainage patterns of this productive prairie region.
