About this map

The Floyd River corridor dominates this Plymouth County landscape, where the settlements of Merrill and Hinton serve as anchors along the eastern valley. The terrain transitions from the alluvial flats of the river to the rolling dissected uplands drained by Perry Cr in the west and Carter Cr in the south. This 2015 survey reveals a dense network of country roads, including Hedge Ave and Impala Ave, which grid the agricultural landscape between the primary transportation routes.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the townships, including Saint Joseph Cem, Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, and Melbourne Cem. The small community of Wren remains a distinct marker on the map near the junction of Co Rd C60, while in Merrill, the map specifically identifies localized landmarks like Assumption Catholic Cem and Hillside Cem, illustrating the deep-rooted community foundations in this corner of Iowa.
