2022 Map of Iowa Falls East

About this map

Iowa Falls serves as the focal point for this survey of the central Iowa heartland, where the Iowa River cuts through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The landscape is defined by the rectilinear grid of county roads and section lines that characterize the transition from Franklin County to Hardin County. Evidence of early community life is preserved in the distribution of rural burial grounds, including Saint Peters Evangelical Cem in the north and the Friends Cem near the river. The small settlement of Robertson sits in the southeast, positioned along the transport corridor that follows the gentle drainages of School Creek. This modern record captures the enduring agricultural layout of the region, where waterways like Beaver Creek wind through the township divisions of T90N and T89N, providing a baseline for tracking land ownership and local genealogy in these two counties.
