2013 Map of McCallsburg

About this map

The town of McCallsburg anchors the southeastern corner of this Story County landscape, situated where the grid of rural roads meets the headwaters of Middle Minerva Cr. To the west, the settlement of Roland marks the edge of the survey, defined by its residential streets like Ryan Cir and E Elm St. The topography is largely defined by the agricultural drainage patterns of E Indian Cr and Bear Cr, which meander through a strictly partitioned section-line road system. In the northeast, the small community of Garden City sits along Co Hwy-S27, where Locust St and Depot Rd suggest the historical importance of the transportation corridor. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century when these small Iowa towns maintained their distinct footprints amidst an expansive and highly structured farming landscape.
