About this map

Latimer sits as the primary settlement on this western Franklin County landscape, established at a major intersection of rural section roads. The town's grid is anchored by Main St and W S St, featuring the Saint Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Cem on its northern edge. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage ditches and winding waterways, including Ditch Number 55 and Buffalo Cr, which cut through the agricultural sections.

Genealogists can find several historic burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Zion Reformed Cem and Marion Center Cem. The southeastern corner of the map reveals a transition toward local recreation and transport at Beeds Lake and the adjacent Beeds Lake Airport. The map's layout reflects the deep-rooted prairie grid system, where every mile is marked by a numbered road like 230th St or 170th St, preserving the spatial organization of Iowa's farming heartland.
