About this map

Holden serves as the primary municipal center in this western Johnson County landscape, characterized by a grid of rural roads and numerous small family cemeteries. The town's street plan is clearly delineated, featuring named thoroughfares like Chestnut St and E Elizabeth St. Beyond the town limits, the geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Bear Cr, Pin Oak Cr, and Brush Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the township lines, such as Fairview Cem to the north and Outon Cem near the southern boundary. The small settlement of Magnolia sits in the southeastern corner, serving as a secondary waypoint. Water management is evidenced by the Number 203 Reservoir, while the presence of Saint Patrick Cem reflects the localized community centers that historically anchored this region.
