2015 Map of Iowa Falls East

About this map

Iowa Falls serves as the focal point for this survey of the north-central Iowa agricultural landscape, situated along the southern bend of the Iowa River. The map illustrates the structured township and range system that defines the region, specifically marking the intersection of Franklin and Hardin Counties along Hardin Rd. The area is characterized by a high density of small rural burial grounds, including the Saint Peters Evangelical Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem, which offer significant data points for genealogical research in this part of the state. Watercourses like Beaver Cr and School Cr cut through the gridded road network of avenues and streets, leading toward the small settlement of Robertson in the southeast. This layout reflects the long-standing agricultural property divisions and the importance of localized community landmarks in the modern rural Midwest.
