About this map

The agricultural landscape of southern Marshall County is defined by its network of creeks and small farming settlements. Laurel serves as a southern anchor, while Haverhill and Luray are situated amidst the section-line grid of rural roads. The area is heavily marked by its religious and educational history, as evidenced by several localized burial grounds and church sites, including Saint Johns United Church of Christ Cem and Immaculate Conception Cem.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Timber Cr and its various branches, including Middle Timber Cr and S Timber Cr, cutting through the undulating plains. To the north, the Wolf Lake Addition and Wolf Lake provide a transition toward the outskirts of Marshalltown. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where the traditional rural structure of cemeteries like Graceland Cem and Center School Cem remains preserved within the modern township system.
