About this map

The town of Mingo sits at the convergence of rural Jasper County roads and waterways, marking a focal point for the surrounding agricultural landscape. This survey documents the intersection of three counties — Story, Polk, and Jasper — showing how modern infrastructure like Hubbell Ave and the Chichaqua Valley Trl weave through the historic farming townships. The land is defined by a network of drainage and creek systems, including Wolf Cr, Byers Br, and the engineered Ditch Number 38, which support the intensive cultivation of the Iowa prairie.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds across the sections, such as Ashton Cem, Graham Cem, and Deeter Cem. Smaller settlements like Farrar and Clyde appear alongside established township lines, while the inclusion of the Farrar Cem and Kintz Cem provides a clear spatial record of the area's early pioneer communities and their lasting presence in the modern geography.
