2022 Map of Martensdale

About this map

Martensdale and St. Marys anchor this agricultural landscape in Warren County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including the Middle River and the S River. The map reveals a transition from these primary river valleys to the smaller drainages of Painter Cr and Turkey Cr, creating a highly dissected upland area. This modern survey shows the persistence of small rural communities like Wick and the dual identity of West Saint Marys. Local landmarks such as the Saint Marys Cem and Wallace Cem provide valuable reference points for genealogists, while the presence of the Too Short Airport and Lake George suggests contemporary land uses alongside traditional farming blocks. The grid of roads, including Co Rd G50 and numerous named streets, illustrates the modern connectivity of this interior Iowa region.
