2022 Map of Madrid NW
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Woodward anchor the southwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, where the flat upland agricultural fields give way to the deeply carved valley of the Des Moines River. The eastern edge of the map is defined by the sharp topographical relief of the river bluffs, featuring prominent heights like Frankel Ridge, Blank Ridge, and Buffalo Ridge. These elevations overlook the river bottoms and Lost Lake, creating a distinct contrast with the grid-patterned farmland to the west. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Beyond several community cemeteries including Sparks Cem and Peoples Cem, the map identifies the isolated James Gildea Grave near the river bluffs. The land use reveals a mix of recreational trails like the Prairie Trl and institutional history at the State Hospital Cem.
