2018 Map of Paton

About this map

Paton anchors the southeastern corner of this Central Iowa landscape, where the grid of Greene and Webster counties meets an intricate drainage system of prairie creeks. This 2018 survey documents the agricultural heartland as it transitions between Webster and Greene counties along 100th St and 400th St. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of W Buttrick Cr and Lost Br, which break the geometric precision of the section lines and rural road network. Near the center of the sheet, the Dawson Cem sits along Co Hwy E18, serving as a localized point of historical reference for the surrounding farming community. To the north, the small settlement of Lena is positioned along the rail corridor, illustrating the traditional relationship between rural hamlets and transportation lines in the region.
