2010 Map of Ireton SW

About this map

Ruble and Adaville anchor this portion of Plymouth County, where the Northwest Iowa landscape is defined by a systematic grid of section roads and a complex network of prairie streams. The area is dominated by the winding course of Broken Kettle Creek, which flows through the central and southern reaches of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Bull Run and Westfield Creek. This 2010 survey reflects a deeply established agricultural pattern, where the road network, including Fawn Ave and Evergreen Ave, adheres strictly to the township and range lines established over a century prior. Genealogists and local historians will find the Saint Johns Lutheran Cemetery in the northeastern corner, a significant landmark for tracing early families in this rural community. The map provides a clear record of land use and drainage patterns, from the headwaters of Beaver Creek to the various unnamed farmsteads that dot the Iowa countryside.
