2018 Map of Hinton

About this map

The Floyd River corridor in Plymouth County anchors this 2018 survey, tracing a path through the rolling agricultural landscape of Western Iowa. The small community of Merrill sits at the northern edge of the sheet, where Assumption Catholic Cem and Hillside Cem mark the local heritage near the river's bend. To the south, the settlement of Hinton serves as a local hub, while the location of Wren appears further north along the primary transportation corridor. The map reveals a dense network of sectional roads, including Hedge Ave and Hickory Ave, which provide access to scattered rural homesteads and historic burial grounds like Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. Small waterways such as Perry Cr and Carter Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped farming and settlement in these townships for generations.
