2010 Map of Malvern

About this map

Malvern serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Mills County, where the regular grid of rural roads is interrupted only by the winding paths of several waterways. The West Nishnabotna River cuts across the southeastern corner near Hastings, while Silver Creek and Osborne Creek define the drainage patterns to the west. This 2010 USGS survey documents a region deeply connected to its local heritage, preserving the locations of several burial grounds such as Cottonwood Cemetery, East Liberty Cemetery, and Wearin Cemetery. The presence of the Malvern Post Office and the small settlement at Jewell highlights the distribution of community services and historical population pockets. A network of local roads, including Elderberry Ave and French Ave, provides access to the dispersed farmsteads that characterize this part of Iowa.
