2015 Map of Perry

About this map

The North Raccoon River winds through the southwestern corner of this Dallas County landscape, defining the local topography as it flows toward Minburn. In the northern section, the city of Perry serves as a primary hub of settlement, with a dense street grid featuring Bateman St, Paul St, and Center St. The surrounding agricultural countryside is dotted with small rural communities like Bouton and Gardiner, as well as numerous local burial grounds including Violet Hill Cem, Saint Patrick's Cem, and Mowrer Cem. The map reveals a highly structured environment defined by a rigid section-line road network, where landmarks like the Beaver Creek Bridge and Graney Bridge facilitate movement across the area's many waterways, such as Beaver Cr and Slough Cr. This document provides a record of land use and civil boundaries at the junction of Boone and Dallas counties.
