About this map

Farragut serves as the primary hub of this corner of southwest Iowa, situated near the banks of the East Nishnabotna River. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Fisher Creek, Mill Creek, and Ledgewood Cr, which carve through the townships of Walnut, Fisher, and Locust Grove. The Burlington Northern railroad corridor provides a clear industrial backbone for the region, while the presence of the Old Grade suggests earlier transportation routes that once serviced the agricultural community.

Local heritage is preserved at sites like Farragut Cemetery and Manti Cemetery, the latter located near Manti Park along the eastern edge of the survey. The mapping also captures the Summit Church and the Shenandoah Golf Course, documenting both the spiritual and recreational spaces of the late 1970s. The border between Fremont and Page Counties is clearly delineated, illustrating the administrative divide between these rural townships.
