2022 Map of Jefferson West

About this map

The North Raccoon River winds through the southern reaches of Greene County, defining the agricultural and recreational landscape west of Jefferson. This modern topographical study illustrates a region where established farmstead grids meet the natural wandering of Hardin Cr and Short Cr. In the western half of the map, the small community of Farlin sits along Co Hwy P14, serving as a waypoint in a landscape primarily dedicated to industrial-scale cultivation, evidenced by the managed flow of Drainage Ditch 171. Genealogists and local historians can pinpoint long-standing landmarks including Saint Joseph Cem near the town edge and Headly Cem further west. The preservation of natural corridors is highlighted by the Daubendiek Trl, which provides public access to the wooded river bottomlands south of the primary east-west corridor of Co Hwy E53.
