About this map

The town of Persia serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Harrison County, where the regular section-line grid is softened by the meandering courses of local waterways. The community is clustered along the banks of Mosquito Cr, with several named streets including 1st Ave and 6th Ave defining the town's small-town layout. Further south, the map documents the smaller settlements of Yorkshire and Magill, which represent the dispersed rural hubs that historically supported the regional farming economy.

A complex network of drainage defines the terrain, with Pigeon Cr, Spring Cr, and Lytles Cr threading through the fields. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by Keg Cr and its tributary, E Br Keg Cr. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the modern road network, tracing routes like Co Line Road L34 and York Rd as they connect the scattered homesteads across the rolling Iowa countryside.
