2018 Map of Mackey

About this map

Mackey sits at the intersection of V Ave and 130th St, serving as a focal point in this predominantly agricultural landscape on the border of Hamilton Co and Boone Co. The map documents a significant concentration of local heritage sites, particularly cemeteries that trace the settlement history of Dodge Township. From the South Marion Cem in the northwest to the Mackey Cem near the eastern border, these sites are often associated with early congregations, such as Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Squaw Cr and Montgomery Cr, which are crossed by local spans including Squaw Creek Bridge and Squaw Creek Bridge Two. A rigid grid of section roads like Inkpaduta Ave and Briggs Woods Rd organizes the prairie, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in central Iowa.
