2022 Map of Patterson

About this map

The Middle River winds through the heart of Madison County, Iowa, creating a deeply dissected landscape where timbered ridges meet fertile valley bottoms. Near the western edge of this survey lies the outskirts of Winterset, while the town of Patterson is positioned along the river to the east. The terrain is marked by a network of rural trails and roads, including Holliwell Bridge Rd and Hiatt Apple Trl, reflecting the region’s agricultural roots and its famous association with local landmarks. Numerous family and community burial grounds are scattered throughout the hills, such as Montpelier Cem, McGinnis Cem, and King Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogical research. North of the main river valley, Cedar Lake and Cedar Cr define the local drainage patterns as they flow through the northern townships.
