About this map

Frytown and Sharon Center anchor this agricultural landscape in southwestern Johnson County, where a dense grid of rural roads connects scattered farmsteads and small crossroads communities. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of streams, including the prominent Old Mans Cr and its tributaries such as N Br Old Mans Cr and Old Womans Cr.

Smaller waterways with distinctive names like Dirty Face Cr, Picayune Cr, and Bulgers Run wind through the township, illustrating the local drainage patterns. Significant transportation routes, including Black Diamond Rd Sw and Orval Yoder Tpke Sw, provide primary access across the rolling prairie, while the southern portion of the map shows the emerging development at Belle Air. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and local naming conventions preserved in this part of Iowa.
