About this map

The North Raccoon River carves a winding path through this Dallas County landscape, defining the character of the terrain north of Adel. This area is characterized by its deep-rooted agricultural and community institutions, notably centered around the settlement of Panther. The Panther Creek Church of the Brethren and several distinct burial grounds, such as Jenkins Cem and King Cem, serve as primary landmarks for those tracing the history of local family lineages and pioneer homesteads.

Modern transportation and recreation intersect with older settlement patterns here, as the Raccoon River Valley Trl follows the river corridor past Black Corners. The map reveals a structured grid of rural roads and section lines typical of the Midwest, punctuated by watercourses like the E Br Panther Cr and Mill Slough. This landscape preserves a clear distinction between the open farmland and the riparian environment along the river valley.
