Grimes and Urbandale anchor this detailed survey of the expanding suburban landscape northwest of Des Moines. The map documents a dense network of modern residential development and commercial corridors, contrasting with the remaining agricultural sections in the north. The winding course of Beaver Creek and its tributary Little Beaver Cr define the drainage patterns of the eastern half, while Walnut Cr and Little Walnut Cr navigate the southern and western reaches. For those researching local history or genealogy, the map identifies significant landmarks such as Hoff Prairie Cem and Sunny Hill Cem. The transition from rural township lines, such as t80n r26w and t79n r25w, to the modern city limits of Johnston, Clive, and Waukee illustrates the rapid evolution of the Des Moines metropolitan fringe.
