About this map

Oakland Acres and the surrounding farmland of Jasper and Poweshiek counties are centered in this detailed study of the Iowa landscape. The map highlights the significant water resources of the region, anchored by the sprawling Rock Creek Lake in the northwest and the winding course of the North Skunk River to the south. Smaller water bodies like Lake Pla-Mor and tributaries such as Sugar Cr and Turner Cr further define the drainage patterns of these agricultural townships.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial sites, including the Mormon Grave and a series of community cemeteries such as Rock Creek Cem, West Westfield Cem, and Bethel Cem. The geometric grid of county roads, including Co Rd F27 and Co Rd F35, facilitates movement between farmsteads and the emerging residential pockets. This survey captures a moment where traditional rural land use meets modern recreational and residential development around established water features.
