2018 Map of Menlo

About this map

The town of Menlo sits at the intersection of local routes and small-town infrastructure in Guthrie County, where the street grid is clearly defined by names like North St, 1st St, and 7th St. This landscape is deeply tied to its rural drainage patterns, with the South Raccoon River cutting across the northern reaches while the Middle River and N River frame the southern terrain. This topography, defined by numerous named tributaries like Plunger Cr and Deer Cr, illustrates the finely dissected plains of central Iowa. Historically significant sites for researchers include the Menlo Cem and Rosehill Cem located just north of the main settlement. Further north, the smaller community of Glendon is documented alongside the Glendon Cem, providing a detailed view of these established centers of local heritage and their surrounding agricultural land divisions.
