2022 Map of Perry

About this map

The North Raccoon River defines the western landscape of this central Iowa region, winding south past the city of Perry. The area's agricultural and transit legacy is visible in the network of section-line roads and the diagonal path of the Raccoon River Valley Trl, which connects the larger hub of Perry to the smaller settlements of Gardiner and Minburn. Genealogists will find several burial grounds well-documented, including Violet Hill Cem north of Perry and Elmwood Cem near the southern edge of the quadrangle. Smaller watercourses like Beaver Cr and Frog Cr cut through the northern townships of t82n r28w and t82n r27w, marking the transition between the rolling uplands and the river valley. The map also captures the village of Bouton in the northeast, illustrating the enduring grid of these rural Dallas County communities.
