About this map

Harvey and the surrounding Marion County countryside are defined by the winding course of the Des Moines River and its numerous tributaries. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape where rail and river history intersect, most notably at the Wabash Railroad Bridge and the Harvey Railroad Bridge which span the water near the town center. The map details the local road network connecting the central settlement of Harvey to the nearby community of Durham and the area identified as English Settlement to the southwest.

Hydrological features dominate the northern and southern reaches of the quadrangle, from the eastern edge of Lake Red Rock in the northwest to the intricate drainages of English Cr, Crooked Cr, and Walnut Cr. The street grid of Tracy is visible in the southeast corner, demonstrating the persistent layout of these rural Iowa townships. This map provides a clear record of land use and river geography before further modern development, preserving the locations of several smaller residential clusters and rural crossings.
