2015 Map of Inwood

About this map

Inwood serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in northwestern Iowa, where a strictly defined section-line road grid organizes the fertile terrain of Lyon and Sioux Counties. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local heritage, evidenced by several rural burial grounds that dot the countryside, including Bethlehem Cem, Richland Cem, and Our Saviors Lutheran Cem. These sites, along with the Bragstad Family Cem near the southern border, provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early families. The natural drainage of the region is defined by the winding paths of Dry Run Cr and Nelson Cr, which break the geometric precision of the farm-to-market road network. This network, featuring arterial routes like Co Hwy K12 and Co Hwy A34, illustrates the enduring infrastructure required to support the local grain and livestock economy.
