About this map

Montour sits at the northern end of this central Iowa landscape, positioned where the meandering Iowa River meets the confluence of Indian Cr. The settlement's grid is anchored by Main St and Broad St, reflecting a traditional Midwestern rail-and-road orientation along the historic E Lincoln Hwy. South of town, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the winding paths of Raven Cr and Bennett Cr, which carve through the agricultural blocks of Tama County.

The small community of Potter remains a distinct point of interest to the east, situated near the intersection of several county routes and the upper reaches of Richland Cr. To the northeast, the map indicates the cultural geography of the region with roads such as Meskwaki Rd and Battleground Rd, suggesting a landscape deeply tied to regional history and tribal heritage. This survey captures a moment in 2013 where the rural infrastructure of section-line roads and named creeks remains the primary framework for the area.
