About this map

Menlo serves as the primary focal point of this Guthrie County landscape, situated just north of the Adair County line. The town's grid is detailed with residential streets such as North St, while nearby landmarks like Rosehill Cem and Menlo Cem offer significant points of interest for genealogical researchers. Further north, the smaller settlement of Glendon is positioned near the winding path of Beaver Cr and its own Glendon Cem, illustrating the late nineteenth-century settlement patterns of central Iowa.

The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways feeding into the Raccoon and Middle River systems. The South Raccoon River clips the northeastern corner, while the N River and Middle River meander through the southern half of the quadrangle. Smaller tributaries like Plunger Cr, Deer Cr, and S Beaver Cr carve through the section lines, which are primarily followed by a systematic grid of rural roads such as Oak Ave and 350th St.
