2010 Map of Peterson SE

About this map

Elkton and the crossroads of West Scott anchor this northwestern Iowa landscape, defined by a rigorous grid of section-line roads and the winding paths of rural waterways. The terrain is drained by several prominent streams, including Maple Creek in the southwest and Brooke Creek, which is crossed by the named Brooke Creek Bridge. This 2010 survey highlights the cultural foundations of the area through its local burying grounds, notably Saint John's Cemetery in the north and Elk Cemetery to the south. The layout of the land reflects a traditional Midwestern agricultural pattern, where established family cemeteries like Plainview Cemetery serve as long-standing landmarks amid a network of numbered avenues and streets that facilitate movement through the open country.
