About this map

Melville Township Cem sits along Co Rd N36 in the northern reaches of this Audubon County landscape, representing a central anchor for local genealogy. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern where Crabapple Cr and Davids Cr wind through the sections, eventually giving way to Honey Cr and Fourmile Cr in the south. These waterways dictate the rolling topography of the Missouri River basin, creating the textured elevation profile characteristic of the region.

Rural intersections like Larland and the settlement of Gardner serve as focal points within the section-line road grid. The map detail reflects the enduring agricultural structure of the township, with a network of secondary routes such as Co Rd F32 and Pheasant Ave providing access to isolated farmsteads. This 2015 survey preserves the mid-century township and range system, documenting the exact placement of local landmarks and infrastructure in a modern era of Iowa's rural development.
