About this map

The Iowa State University Experimental Station serves as a central landmark in this agricultural corner of Monona County, illustrating the long-standing connection between regional farming and academic research. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of the Maple River in the northwest and the Soldier River in the southeast, with numerous tributaries like McCleery Creek and Jordan Creek carving through the terrain. A grid of rural roads, including Poplar Ave and Sequoia Ave, connects scattered homesteads and local infrastructure.

Genealogists will find three distinct burial sites preserved on this sheet: Center Cemetery in the northwest, Putman Cemetery to the east, and Jordan Cemetery in the south near the Site H-4-4 Davis-Battle Creek Dam. These sites, along with family-named routes such as Pecan Ave and Plum Ave, provide a clear record of the area's established land ownership and settlement patterns at the start of the 21st century.
