About this map

Midway and Morris anchor this rural landscape in Woodbury County, illustrating the grid-based agricultural layout of western Iowa. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Maple River, which cuts through the geometric regularity of the section lines. This river valley provides a natural contrast to the upland plateaus drained by several small tributaries, including Big Cr, Moorhead Cr, and Reynolds Cr.

Transportation infrastructure follows the strict township and range system, with named routes like Taylor Ave and Woodbury Ave providing local access. Notable thoroughfares such as the Danbury Blacktop and Co Hwy-D56 connect these farming communities to larger regional hubs. The map captures the quiet, established nature of the prairie as it was in the early 21st century, dominated by extensive fieldwork and a network of named country roads.
