About this map

Lone Tree serves as the primary municipal hub in this portion of Johnson County, where the street grid transitions into a vast network of section-line roads. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Iowa River, which creates a complex series of oxbows and backwaters including Horseshoe Lake, Long Lake, and Big Lake. These features, along with Hockeys Slough, illustrate the hydrological evolution of the river valley.

Smaller settlements and historical locales like River Junction, Palestine, and White Ash are scattered throughout the agricultural landscape, linked by thoroughfares such as Otter Creek Rd SE and Iowa River Rd. A distinctive terrain feature, Graveyard Point, overlooks the river bottomlands near the confluence with Davis Cr. The intricate drainage system is further detailed by the paths of Prairie Cr and Richey Cr, which cut through the fertile till plains of eastern Iowa.
