2018 Map of Griswold

About this map

Griswold and Elliott anchor this southwestern Iowa landscape where the borders of Cass, Pottawattamie, and Montgomery counties converge. The East Nishnabotna River winds south through the center of the sheet, joined by tributaries like Baughmans Cr and Clarks Br. This region is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a dense network of country roads such as Pioneer Trl and Applewood Rd, which connect a series of family and township burying grounds. Genealogists can find several notable sites including Griswold Cem, Hillside Cem, and the Pleasant Township Cem. Near the southern border, the small settlement of Elliott sits along the banks of Coe Cr, while the northern portion is dominated by the street grid of Griswold. The local geography is further marked by Shields Airport and the winding paths of Walnut Cr and Indian Cr to the west.
