2010 Map of Harvey

About this map

The Des Moines River winds through this central Iowa landscape, defining the character of the Marion County countryside. Near the river's bend, the town of Harvey stands as a focal point, supported by the Harvey Post Office and the crossing of the Harvey Railroad Bridge. This area is marked by a high density of local heritage sites, including the English Settlement to the west and numerous family-named burial grounds such as the Loynachan Farm Cemetery and Porter Grove Cemetery. The confluence of rail and water is evident at the Wabash Railroad Bridge, reflecting the historic transportation network that once moved goods across the fertile river valley. Settlements like Durham and Tracy anchor the rural road network, while the expansive waters of Lake Red Rock and the engineering of the Red Rock Dam dominate the northwestern corner of the quadrangle.
