About this map

The Middle Raccoon River winds through the heart of Guthrie County, anchoring a landscape defined by significant conservation areas and the expansion of residential water features. By the early 1980s, Lake Panorama had become a dominant geographical landmark northwest of Panora, reflecting the transition of rural land into recreational use. The town of Panora serves as the primary hub, where researchers can find the Panora-Linden High Sch and the Greenwood Cem.

Transport and industry are marked by the Chicago and North Western railroad corridor, which cuts southeast toward Linden. Large-scale wildlife management is evident in the Bays Branch State Wildlife Area and Lenon Mill State Wildlife Area, protecting the river bottoms and tributaries like Bays Branch. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped in detail, including West Linn Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem.
