2010 Map of Farnhamville

About this map

Farnhamville anchors this part of Calhoun County, appearing here alongside the Farnhamville Post Office and an organized grid of section roads. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of several waterways, including the meandering Hardin Creek and the eastern and western branches of Cedar Creek. These drainage patterns influenced the placement of early infrastructure and community hubs such as Rinard and Somers. Local history and genealogy interest is concentrated near sites like Cedar Cemetery and Reading Cemetery, which are preserved along the gravel and paved roads. Smaller settlements like Slifer and Easley appear as distinct points within the agricultural expanse, illustrating the dispersed nature of rural Iowa development. The map provides a clear record of the relationship between the township road system, including Valley Ave and Baxter Ave, and the natural creeks that drain the prairie.
