About this map

The Maple River flows through this rural landscape along the Woodbury and Ida County line, defining a region dominated by agricultural tracts and a grid of secondary roads. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous tributaries, including Big Creek, Moorhead Creek, and Reynolds Creek, which create a series of distinct ridges and valleys across the countryside.

Genealogists can identify key local landmarks such as Saint Paul Lutheran Cemetery in the northern section and Saint Marys Cemetery to the south. These sites, along with the extensive network of township roads like Safford Avenue and Story Avenue, provide a clear picture of the area's rural settlement pattern. The path of the Danbury Blacktop and several county highways, such as County Highway L43, serve as the primary connectors between the scattered farmsteads of this Iowa river valley.
