The Des Moines River winds across the northern reaches of this rural landscape, carving a wide valley where the Chicago Burlington and Quincy railroad follows the river's northern bank. This early twentieth-century survey reveals a highly organized township system, where every few miles a community schoolhouse served the local farmsteads. Dozens of these rural institutions are identified, including Goose Hill School, Butcher Creek School, and Linn Grove School.
