About this map

Cedar Creek and Little Cedar Creek wind through this primarily agricultural landscape in Pocahontas County, defining the drainage patterns of the local prairie. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking the exact locations of Elfsborg - Dover Township Cemetery and Saint Columbkille's Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the rural community. The small settlement of Shirley appears in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, situated at the intersection of local grid roads like 550th St and 170th Ave. This survey documents the persistent township grid system that has organized the Iowa countryside for generations, showing how rural life continues to center around these established churchyards and small clusters of habitation.
