About this map

Harvey and Durham sit at the center of this rural Marion County landscape, where the Des Moines River flows southeast toward Tracy. This mid-2010s survey reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Loynachan Farm Cem and Orey Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in Clay Township. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several waterways, including English Cr and Walnut Cr, which feed into the main river valley.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the river crossings, notably the Wabash Railroad Bridge and the Harvey Railroad Bridge, reflecting the enduring importance of rail infrastructure in this corner of Iowa. The map also captures the edge of Lake Red Rock in the northwest, showing the interface between the managed waterway and the surrounding agricultural sections. The grid of county roads, including Co HWY t15 and Old HWY 92, provides a clear view of the modern land divisions laid over the traditional township and range system.
