2015 Map of Moorland

About this map

Moorland serves as a central hub for this section of Webster County, situated where Co Rd D20 intersects the rail lines and agricultural corridors of the northern plains. The landscape is defined by its meticulous drainage systems, including Ditch Number 31 and Ditch Number 96, which manage the low-lying terrain between the winding South Branch Lizard Creek and Hardin Cr. Genealogists and local historians will find several distinct burial grounds scattered throughout the townships, such as Fulton Township Cem and the uniquely named Mizpah Cem in the southwestern corner. Small rural clusters like Roelyn and Tara mark the periphery, while the surrounding grid of section roads like Easter Ave and Dakota Ave illustrates the enduring layout of Iowa's family farming heritage.
