2015 Map of McIntire

About this map

McIntire and the smaller settlement of Bailey anchor this northern Iowa landscape along the boundary of Mitchell and Howard counties. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Little Wapsipinicon River and the winding course of Watsons Cr, which flows toward the Little Cedar River Bridge. This modern topographic study reveals a deeply gridded agricultural layout, where established section lines like Addison Ave and Windfall Ave organize the farmsteads and rural infrastructure. Genealogists and local researchers will find the Wayne Cem situated centrally within the quadrangle, while outdoor enthusiasts may note the recreational potential at Lake Hendricks in the southern portion of the map. The collection of small-scale roads, such as Wheeler St and Valley Ave, illustrates the persistent connectivity of these rural townships in the early twenty-first century.
