About this map

The North Raccoon River winds through the heart of this Dallas County landscape, carving a fertile corridor between the small settlements of Panther and Black Corners. The agrarian character of the region is punctuated by numerous historic burial grounds, including the Panther Creek Church of the Brethren Cem and the Dallas County Farm Cem, which offer significant touchstones for local genealogists.

South of Husband Field, the terrain shifts toward the northern outskirts of Adel, where Mill Slough and Hickory Cr meet the river valley. The map reveals a strictly gridded road network, from Minburn Rd to 280th St, that underscores the organized township structure of central Iowa. This 2018 survey provides a contemporary view of these established rural communities and their proximity to the growing county seat.
