About this map

Parkersburg sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned north of the Butler County and Grundy County line. The town's grid is well-defined by local landmarks like Saint Patricks Catholic Cem and the Parker Burial Grounds. To the west, the community of Aplington is situated along the same Railroad St corridor that links these prairie settlements. The surrounding terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Beaver Creek and Johnson Creek, which cut through the agricultural sections of the Iowa countryside.

Genealogists and local historians can find several smaller points of interest, such as the settlement of Eleanor in the north and Buck Grove to the south. The map identifies multiple burial sites scattered across the townships, including Oak Hill Cem, Buck Grove Cem, and Salem Cem. These locations, alongside the complex network of named roads like Keystone Ave and Watson Way, provide a clear picture of the rural organization in this part of northern Iowa.
