About this map

Grinnell serves as the focal point for this southern extension into the rolling agricultural lands of Poweshiek County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage patterns of the N English River, which meanders through the southern half of the quadrangle alongside English Cr and Middle Buck Cr. In the north, the campus of Grinnell College sits at the edge of the urban grid, while Grinnell Regional Airport and several historic cemeteries mark the transition from town to rural acreage.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find a significant distribution of burial sites across the township lines, including Hazelwood Cem, Westfield Cem, and the Norwegian Lutheran Cem. Further south, the map identifies the Upper Blue Point Cem and Lower Blue Point Cem, suggesting early community nodes along the creek valleys. The rectilinear road grid, featuring routes like Stagecoach Rd and Co Rd F35, provides a clear framework for tracing land ownership and settlement patterns south of the city center.
