Matlock stands as the primary settlement on this Northwest Iowa landscape, surrounded by an orderly grid of section lines and gravel roads. Located just south of Otter Creek, the town is oriented around a network of local thoroughfares including Larch Ave and 280th St. To the south, the village of Boyden borders the western edge of the quadrangle, while the Greenwood Cemetery serves as a significant genealogical landmark for the surrounding rural community. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Floyd River in the southeast, cutting through the geometric precision of the farm plots. This survey captures the region's agricultural character, where named roads like Kingbird Ave and Marsh Ave delineate the territory into productive squares, maintaining a settlement pattern largely unchanged for generations.
