2018 Map of Jefferson West

About this map

The North Raccoon River winds through the heart of Greene County, carving a distinctive valley that breaks the uniform agricultural grid of Grant Township. Along this riparian corridor, historical landmarks such as Eureka Bridge and family-linked burial grounds like Wright Cem and Fair Oaks Cem offer clear points of interest for local historians and genealogists. The landscape transition is sharp, moving from the concentrated residential blocks of western Jefferson and the small settlement of Farlin into an expansive network of rural section roads and engineered waterways like Drainage Ditch 171. Further north, the confluence of Hardin Cr and E Fork Hardin Cr defines the drainage patterns of the upper prairie, while cemeteries such as Headly Cem and Golgotha Cem remain as quiet markers of the area's early settlement clusters.
