About this map

The Des Moines River carves through the western edge of this Boone County landscape, defining the topography south of Luther. The rural character of the area is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds, including Hull Cem and Garden Prairie Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in these townships. Settlement patterns are concentrated in the north at Luther and to the south where the northern edge of Madrid appears along the quadrangle boundary.

Transportation infrastructure highlights the shift from traditional rural roads to modern recreational use. The High Trestle Trl follows a former rail corridor across the southern portion of the map, passing near the Cassel Cem and Hillsdale Cem. Numerous creek systems, such as Big Cr, Little Cr, and Richardson Br, create a complex network of drainages that feed into the river valley, influencing the placement of local routes like Co HWY e57.
