About this map

Malcom serves as the primary hub in this corner of Poweshiek County, centered around a grid including 3rd St, 2nd St, and Clay St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the headwaters of several notable drainage systems, where Little Bear Cr flows through the northern township while the N English River and the source of the Deep River carve through the southern landscape.

Genealogists can locate legacy sites such as Ivy Hill Cem just north of Malcom and Ewart Cem near the smaller settlement of Ewart. The land division reflects the classic Iowa section-line road network, featuring names like Diagonal Rd and Old 6 Rd that hint at earlier travel patterns before the modern interstate system intersected the township. This 2015 survey provides a contemporary view of these longstanding rural communities and their relationship to the shifting prairie waterways.
