2010 Map of Grinnell South

About this map

The southern outskirts of Grinnell and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Poweshiek County define this 2010 survey. Significant institutional landmarks occupy the northern portion of the sheet, including the Poweshiek County Fairgrounds and the Grinnell Regional Airport, while the Grinnell Post Office anchors the town center. The topography is shaped by the drainage of the North English River, English Creek, and Middle Buck Creek, which meander through a grid of rural section roads like Ewart Rd and 450th Ave. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, showing the locations of the Hazelwood Cemetery, Westfield Cemetery, Norwegian Lutheran Cemetery, Hayes Cemetery, and both the Upper Blue Point Cemetery and Lower Blue Point Cemetery. Small rural intersections at Oak Grove and Jacobs provide evidence of earlier settlement patterns amidst the modern interstate and local road network.
