2015 Map of Maloy

About this map

Maloy sits at the heart of this Southern Iowa landscape, where the meandering course of the Platte River defines the drainage patterns of both Taylor and Ringgold counties. This agricultural region is marked by a network of sectional roads like Yellowstone Ave and Tay-Gold Ave, which connect isolated homesteads to the small village centers. Family and local history is preserved at several rural burial grounds, including Platte River Cem and Saint Marys Cem near the town center, as well as Forest Home Cem to the south. Further south, the edge of Blockton appears, situated near the headwaters of the Grand River. The map illustrates a classic Midwestern survey grid, where high-elevation ridges separate the river valleys, and road names often change as they cross the county line between Taylor and Ringgold counties.
