About this map

The Henry and Bureau county line bisects this prairie landscape, where an extensive network of drainage infrastructure transformed the local hydrology for agriculture. Numerous waterways like Mineral Marsh Ditch, Goose Pond Ditch, and Roe Ditch Number 2 suggest the historical effort required to manage the low-lying terrain near the Green River. These engineering works, along with the Feeder Basin, dominate the northern and central sections of the quadrangle.

Small-town life centers on the settlements of Annawan and Mineral, both situated along the southern transportation corridor. Researchers interested in local genealogy will find the Gold Township Cemetery located north of these communities. The southern portion of the map is defined by natural watercourses such as Coal Creek and Lawson Creek, which contrast with the straight-line precision of the Fairfield Ditch Number 1 and other agricultural channels to the north.
