2010 Map of Maurice

About this map

West Branch Floyd River meanders south through this corner of Sioux County, Iowa, defining the drainage patterns and local geography of the region. The map centers on Maurice, where the Maurice Post Office and Saint Marys Cemetery serve as focal points for the local community. Further south, the settlement of Struble sits near the Saint Joseph Cemetery, illustrating the linear settlement patterns typical of the Iowa prairie. The landscape is structured by a rigorous grid of section-line roads, including Hickory Ave and 470th ST, which intersect the occasional curves of the Orange City Slough. This survey captures the rural character of the area in the early 21st century, dominated by agricultural land use and small townships like those represented by the Sherman Township Cemetery.
