About this map

The town of Ogden serves as the central hub of this Boone County landscape, situated at the junction of US Highway 30 and State Highway 169. The urban grid of the town is detailed with a network of local streets such as W Walnut St and E Division St, while the Union Pacific RR provides a critical industrial connection through the heart of the community. Beyond the town limits, the topography is defined by the valley of Bluff Creek and the notable elevation of Fraser Hill, offering a clear view of how the natural drainage systems shaped early settlement patterns and transport routes in central Iowa.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through markers like Glenwood Cem and Beaver Cem, which anchor the rural surroundings. To the west, the smaller settlement of Beaver sits near the tracks, while the course of the Des Moines River and its tributaries carve into the agricultural plains. This map documents a modern view of a region defined by its long-standing reliance on the rails and the prairie road system.
