About this map

The South Skunk River meanders through this portion of Story County, leaving behind a complex network of Old Channel segments that define the local drainage and topography. Near the center of the sheet, the small settlement of Loring sits at a crossroads, while Oldfield marks a point of interest to the southeast. The landscape is heavily agricultural, partitioned by a rigid grid of country roads such as Ne 150th Ave and Ne 80th ST.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Peoria Cemetery, Mount Zion Cemetery, and United Brethren Cemetery. The presence of the North Polk Landing Strip in the northwest corner highlights modern rural land use alongside older landmarks like Byers Cemetery. To the south, Woodland Lake Dam regulates local waters, while Indian Creek and Calamus Creek join the river system, illustrating the hydrology of the Iowa plains.
