About this map

Griswold and Elliott anchor this rural landscape in southwestern Iowa, situated along the winding course of the East Nishnabotna River. The area is characterized by a high concentration of burial sites, including Griswold Cem, Flint Cem, Pleasant Township Cem, Mercer Cem, Waveland Cem, and Hillside Cem, which provide significant anchor points for genealogists and local historians.

A network of drainage systems like Walnut Cr, Indian Cr, and Clarks Br dissect the agricultural tracts, defining the local topography and property boundaries. The intersection of three counties—Pottawattamie, Cass, and Montgomery—meets near the center of this map, reflecting the administrative complexity of this rural territory. Modern transit follows historic patterns along Pioneer Trl and Co Rd H12, connecting these small agricultural hubs.
