About this map

Soldier River and its various tributaries, including Jordan Creek and Norway Creek, define the landscape of this western Iowa region near the start of the 21st century. The map centers on the small agricultural communities of Moorhead and Soldier, documenting the modern road network that connects these rural hubs via routes like Co Hwy L20 and Co Hwy E54.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet provides exact locations for the Soldier Cemetery and Spring Valley Cemetery, preserving these sacred sites within the township grid. A notable modern addition to the landscape includes water management infrastructure such as the Site H-4-2 Davis Battle Creek Dam and related sites along the northern reaches of the quadrangle. The intersection of natural watercourses and the rigid section-line roads like Pecan Ave and Sequoia Ave illustrates the enduring human organization of this fertile prairie terrain.
