The South Skunk River meanders across this Central Iowa landscape, defining the topography between the town of Mitchellville and the smaller settlements of Valeria and Oswalt. In this 2010 survey, the land remains dominated by a systematic grid of section roads, including Hwy F34 W and Federal Ave, which connect long-standing rural communities. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, such as the Greencastle Cemetery near the community of Green Castle and the McKeever Cemetery to the east. The map captures the interface of established townships with water features like Santiago Creek and Clarks Lake, illustrating the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the region. From the Mitchellville Post Office to the edge of Colfax, the sheet provides a clear view of the area's developed infrastructure just north of the Squaw Creek drainage.
