About this map

The Little Sioux River carves a winding path through this corner of northwest Iowa, defining the landscape where Peterson is situated at a major bend in the water. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain shaped by the river valley and its numerous tributaries, including Bluebird Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The map captures the agricultural grid system of both Clay and Buena Vista counties, which meet along the 510th St and 420th Ave boundary.

Genealogists will find significant local history markers in the various interments scattered across the townships, such as Oakland Cem near the river bluffs and the more remote Zion Cem in the northeast. Further south, the map identifies the Daily Burial Ground near the banks of the river and Fox Run. To the southeast, the settlement of Linn Grove sits near the river's edge, connected to the broader region by a network of county roads like Co Rd 51 and Co Hwy B61.
