About this map

The town of Laurel and the settlement of Haverhill anchor this topographic survey of southern Marshall County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of streams including Timber Cr, N Timber Cr, and S Timber Cr that carve into the agricultural plateau. Small rural cemeteries are scattered throughout the townships, serving as focal points for local genealogy and history, such as Center School Cem and Timber Creek Cem.

Transport is dominated by a grid of section-line roads, notably Co HWY s75 and Co HWY e63, which connect the farms to the community centers. A distinctive concentration of religious sites is evident near Haverhill, where the Immaculate Conception Cem is located, and further south at the Saint John's United Church of Christ Cem. Natural features such as Wolf Lake and Mohrs Lake provide some variety to the terrain, which is otherwise largely shaped by drainage basins like Alloway Cr and Lutes Cr.
