About this map

Garner and Klemme anchor this agricultural landscape in north-central Iowa, where the rectilinear grid of township roads and section lines dictates the movement of people and water. The town of Garner is mapped in detail, showing a network of residential streets including Allen Ave, Bush Ave, and Cottonwood Dr alongside the northern boundary of Concord Cem. To the south, Klemme sits near Calvary Cem, marking a distinct pocket of settlement amidst the vast surrounding acreage.

The natural hydrology has been significantly reshaped by a series of engineered watercourses, including Drainage Ditch Number 13, Drainage Ditch Number 81, and Drainage Ditch Number 9. These features, which support the flow of the East Branch Iowa River and Galls Cr, reveal the extensive land management required for the region's productivity. Local genealogy is supported by the clear identification of these family cemeteries and the specific road names like Sioux Ave and Taft Ave that define the county's rural routes.
