About this map

Martensdale and the surrounding Warren County landscape are defined by a network of waterways including the Middle River and S River, which carve through the Iowa countryside. This 2018 survey documents a region where small rural settlements like Wick and St. Marys persist alongside traditional agricultural lands. The map provides significant detail for local historians, recording long-established burial sites such as Wallace Cem and Saint Marys Cem, alongside the residential pocket of West Saint Marys.

Transportation and infrastructure are prominent, with the grid of county roads and named streets like Iowa Ave and Nevada St connecting the scattered farmsteads. A notable modern landmark is the Too Short Airport, situated just north of Nixon St. Natural features like Lake George and various drainage courses such as Clanton Cr and Painter Cr illustrate the drainage patterns essential to the local environment and its history of land use.
