About this map

Malcom serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in eastern Iowa, situated where Little Bear Creek flows through the northern part of the quadrangle. The town layout is clearly defined by its street grid, featuring the Malcom Post Office as a primary civic landmark. To the south, the settlement of Ewart occupies a quieter position near the North English River, which meanders eastward across the lower third of the sheet.

Transport history is visible through the alignment of Old 6 Rd and the more modern path of Interstate 80, which bisects the territory. The rural character of Poweshiek County is reinforced by the presence of Ivy Hill Cemetery north of Malcom and Ewart Cemetery to the west of its namesake settlement. The drainage patterns of Dugout Creek and Deep River further define the undulating prairie terrain between these two historic communities.
