2015 Map of Moorhead

About this map

The Soldier River valley carves through the Western Iowa loess hills, anchoring the rural communities of Moorhead and Soldier. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape deeply defined by its drainage network, where local life follows the contours of Norway Cr, Skinners Cr, and Elk Cr. The mapping of townships t83n r43w and t82n r43w reveals a rectilinear grid of secondary roads like Co Hwy L20 and Co Hwy E54 that navigate the challenging topography. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Spring Valley Cem near Moorhead and the Soldier Cem to the north provides specific points of interest for tracing family heritage in Monona County. Distinctive features like Bartlett Hills Lake contrast with the surrounding agricultural uplands, marking this as a characteristically Midwestern riverine landscape.
