2010 Map of Guthrie Center East

About this map

Lake Panorama and its associated resorts dominate the northeastern corner of this Iowa landscape, where the Middle Raccoon River was impounded by the Lake Panorama Dam. This man-made reservoir stands in contrast to the traditional agricultural grid and scattered small settlements like Fanslers and Monteith. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, showing a legacy of rural churchyards and family plots including Victory Union Cemetery, Resurrection Cemetery, and the Valley Township Cemetery located just outside the eastern edge of Guthrie Center. The town itself serves as the western anchor of the sheet, with the South Raccoon River cutting through its southern reaches. Further infrastructure includes the Guthrie County Regional Airport and recreational points such as the Lake Panorama National Resort, illustrating the area's dual role as a farming hub and a regional leisure destination.
