About this map

Mingo serves as the primary hub in this corner of Jasper County, situated where Clear Cr meanders through the southern landscape. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid, punctuated by small settlements like Clyde and Farrar, which maintain their distinct identities amidst the vast sections of Poweshiek Township. The terrain is defined by its water systems, including Wolf Cr and Byers Br, while Ditch Number 38 indicates a history of managed drainage to support local farming.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites across the township lines of Polk, Story, and Jasper counties. Landmarks such as Ashton Cem, Graham Cem, and Kintz Cem are preserved in their rural contexts, offering a clear record of local lineage. The road network, from HWY f24 W to numerous numbered avenues, reflects the long-standing infrastructure that has connected these farming communities for generations.
