2010 Map of Garden Grove

About this map

Garden Grove and Humeston anchor this rural landscape in Southern Iowa, where the 2010 terrain is defined by the winding course of the Chariton River and its tributaries. The map documents a deeply rooted agricultural community through its numerous burial grounds, including the Morman Cemetery and Green Bay Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogy. The presence of the Garden Grove Post Office and small clusters at High Point and Lewisburgh illustrate the persistence of these historic hamlets. In addition to natural features like Steel Creek and Hunter Creek, the map shows modern infrastructure such as the Watkins Private Airport and the Humeston Reservoir. The road network, featuring names like Popcorn Rd and Raccoon, weaves through the township grid, providing a clear record of the area's development before further contemporary changes.
