About this map

The northern edge of Grinnell anchors this rural landscape at the border of Poweshiek and Tama counties. A intricate network of drainage is visible, dominated by the winding paths of Big Bear Cr, Walnut Cr, and Sugar Cr. The map captures the agricultural regularity of the Iowa interior, where section lines are traced by local thoroughfares such as Newburg Rd and Co Hwy F17.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Chester Cem situated in the northern reaches of the quadrangle. In the southern portion, the transition from open fields to the residential and collegiate street grid of the city is documented through detailed labels for 11th Ave W, Penrose St, and Country Club Dr. This survey provides a modern snapshot of a classic Midwestern prairie landscape defined by its waterways and township divisions.
