2018 Map of Maloy

About this map

Maloy sits at the heart of this rural landscape, positioned just east of the Taylor County and Ringgold County border. The area is defined by a dense network of rolling drainage patterns, where the Platte River and its tributaries like Platte Br and Turkey Cr have carved the terrain into a series of ridges and valleys. Small community landmarks reflect the local genealogy and settlement history, including the Platte River Cem and Saint Marys Cem located near the town site. In the southeast, the Grand River appears briefly, marking the reach of another major watershed. The map reveals a strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as Co RD j35 and Yellowstone Ave, which navigate the elevation changes to connect the dispersed farmsteads characteristic of this part of southern Iowa.
