About this map

Norwalk and its surrounding rural townships are defined by the convergence of the North River and Middle River as they flow eastward toward the Des Moines River valley. In the early 21st century, this area maintained a mix of growing residential developments, such as Lakewood, and enduring small settlements like Prole, Spring Hill, and Greenbush. The landscape is dotted with several recreational spaces, including The Legacy Golf Course and Rolling Hills Golf Course, illustrating the transition from agricultural land to suburban leisure.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Webb Cemetery situated near the banks of Bull Run, a small tributary. The map also records essential civic markers like the Norwalk Post Office and Prole Post Office, along with the intersection of established county routes like Co Rd G14 that connect these dispersed communities. From the northern reaches of Lake Colechester to the southern edge at Martensdale, the survey provides a clear view of the regional road network and water drainage patterns.
