2015 Map of Pierson

About this map

Pierson serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, situated at the junction of Co Hwy D12 and Lenox Ave in Woodbury County. The surrounding countryside is defined by the agricultural section lines of the Public Land Survey System, which dictate the grid of rural roads like Mason Ave and Almond Ave. This 2015 survey illustrates how traditional land divisions remain the backbone of the region's geography, with the Little Sioux River cutting through the southeastern corner and smaller tributaries like Buffalo Cr and Pierson Cr draining the northern fields. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies key community anchors including Grand Meadow Cem in the north and Greenwood Cem just south of the town center, along with Good Hope Cem to the east, providing a clear record of established family burial grounds.
