2015 Map of Panther

About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through the center of this central Iowa landscape, defining the topography between Panther and Adel. This 2015 survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community evidenced by its numerous cemeteries, including the Panther Creek Church of the Brethren Cem and the Dallas County Farm Cem. These sites, along with others like Oakdale Cem and Kinnick Cem, offer significant geographic markers for local family history and genealogical research. The river valley is flanked by agricultural lands and crossed by a network of rural roads such as Sportsmans Club Rd and Fairground Rd. The smaller settlement of Black Corners sits to the east of the river, while several branches of Panther Creek, including E Br Panther Cr and W Br Panther Cr, drain the western fields toward the main river channel. Husband Field stands out as a localized landmark in a region dominated by farm sections and riverine bends.
