2013 Map of Ollie

About this map

Ollie and Packwood anchor this Southeast Iowa landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the winding courses of the Skunk River and its southern branch. The map illustrates a rural environment defined by sectional roads and the drainage patterns of Richland Cr and Rock Cr. In the northern portion of the sheet, the S Skunk River carves a meandering path that disrupts the rigid geometry of the county road system, creating a pocket of varied terrain in an otherwise uniform prairie landscape. The southern edge is marked by the small settlement of Packwood, showing its street layout and proximity to Middle Walnut Cr. This 2013 digital survey provides a precise view of the modern rural infrastructure, including secondary routes like Co Rd V5G, during a period of continued reliance on traditional town centers and family farm connections.
