2010 Map of Perry

About this map

The North Raccoon River and Beaver Creek define the agricultural and rail landscape of this Dallas County region. Perry serves as the primary hub, where the significant Perry Yard rail infrastructure meets the local street grid. The town is surrounded by numerous burial grounds, including the large Violet Hill Cemetery and Saint Patrick's Cemetery to the north, and Valleyview Cemetery and Mowrer Cemetery to the west, providing a detailed record for genealogical study. Smaller satellite communities like Bouton, Gardiner, and Minburn are connected by a rigid section-line road network, while the river valley offers natural breaks in the grid with features like the Graney Bridge and Spring Valley Public Access. The inclusion of the Bouton Post Office and Minburn Post Office highlights the ongoing role of these small towns as local service centers within the township.
