2010 Map of Granger

About this map

Saylorville Lake and Big Creek Lake dominate the landscape of central Iowa in this 2010 study, where the Des Moines River flows through a series of significant water management projects. To the north, the town of Madrid sits near the Madrid Post Office, while the southern portion of the map is anchored by the community of Granger. The area is marked by a high density of small burial grounds that speak to the long-standing agricultural roots of Polk and Boone counties, including Mount Hope Cemetery, Snider Cemetery, and the United Bretheran Cemetery. Infrastructure like the High Bridge and Snyder Bridge cross the valley, connecting outlying settlements such as Zook Spur and Gibbsville. South of the lake, Granger Homesteads and the Jester Park Golf Course indicate modern residential and recreational developments near the confluence of Beaver Creek.
