About this map

Grand Junction serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, where the gridded townsite meets the path of E Railroad St. The surrounding terrain is defined by a complex drainage network involving W Beaver Cr, Little Beaver Cr, and E Buttrick Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields of Greene and Boone counties. To the north, the small settlement of Dana sits along the highway, while the village of Beaver marks the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by established sites such as Mount Calvary Cem and Beaver Cem. The presence of the Beaver Creek Bridge highlights the infrastructure required to navigate this water-laced prairie. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, from the residential blocks of Grand Junction to the isolated homesteads connected by a strict section-line road system.
