Gravity occupies the southwestern corner of this agricultural landscape in Taylor County, defined by the intricate drainage of the Middle Fork One Hundred and Two River. The terrain is marked by a precise grid of rural corridors, including Maryland Ave and Naples Ave, which link small clusters of habitation across the countryside. The northeastern portion of the sheet features the settlement of Sharpsburg, where local life centers around Main St and Front St. Further north, the crossroads at Bushville sits near the headwaters of the W Br One Hundred and Two River. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of Iowa's rural township structure, where the watercourses and section roads dictate the placement of every farmstead and village center.
