About this map

Farnhamville serves as the primary hub in this corner of the Iowa prairie, positioned at the intersection of Summit Ave and Main St. The landscape is defined by the meticulous grid of the Public Land Survey System, where townships like t86n r31w are bisected by an extensive network of drainage channels including Ditch Number 12 and Ditch Number 28. These man-made improvements reflect the intensive agricultural development required to manage the watershed of Hardin Cr and E Cedar Cr.

Smaller settlements such as Somers, Rinard, and Slifer anchor the surrounding rural sections, providing essential context for the region's historical community structure. Genealogists will find the locations of Cedar Cem and Reading Cem particularly useful for tracing family roots in this tightly knit farming district. The map captures a high degree of road detail, from county highways like Co Hwy P13 to local routes like Waukon Ave and Xenia Ave.
