The Des Moines River carves a central path through this landscape, where the borders of Boone, Dallas, and Polk counties meet. To the south, the community of Granger is anchored by the Granger Homesteads, a notable New Deal-era subsistence project established in the 1930s to provide coal miners with small agricultural tracts. This 2022 survey captures the modern geography of the region, including the expansion of Saylorville Lake and the recreational development of the High Trestle Trl which follows a legacy rail corridor.
