About this map

Perry stands as a significant rail and commercial hub in northern Dallas County, centered around the intersection of the Chicago and North Western lines. The street grid, including Willis Ave and Lucinda St, shows a well-established community anchored by civic institutions like the City Hall and Civic Center. Educational infrastructure is notably dense, featuring the High Sch, Jr High Sch, and several elementary schools such as Roosevelt Sch and Webster Sch.

South and east of the city, the landscape transitions into the fertile plains of Spring Valley and Sugar Grove, where the North Raccoon River carves a winding path. Small satellite settlements like Minburn, Bouton, and Gardiner dot the surrounding farmland, connected by a network of rural roads. Genealogists will find several burial sites including Violet Hill Cem and Myers Cem, while remnants of mid-century recreation are visible at the Drive-in Theater and local Golf Course.
