2022 Map of Malvern

About this map

Malvern and Hastings serve as the primary population centers in this rural Mills County landscape, positioned along a transportation corridor shaped by the West Nishnabotna River. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between numerous tributaries, including Silver Creek, Little Cr, and Osborne Cr. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the map identifies several well-distributed burial grounds such as Cottonwood Cem, East Liberty Cem, and Wearin Cem. A notable modern feature is the Wabash Trace Nature Trl, which follows a legacy rail alignment north to south through the terrain. The map also detail the local road network, from named country lanes like Epperson Ave and Gaston Ave to the grid-based streets of the town centers, reflecting the enduring agricultural organization of the Iowa countryside.
