About this map

The Des Moines River carves a sweeping path through the northern landscape of this region, shaping a series of oxbow features including Waller Lake, Spires Lake, and Thomas Lake. In the south, the settlement of Pleasantville serves as a primary hub of development, with a grid of streets such as W Pleasant St and E Monroe St radiating from its center. The area is defined by its transition from the river lowlands to the higher agricultural ground, connected by small rural outposts like Swan and Wheling.

Significant creek systems like Coal Cr and Sugar Cr drain the territory, with the Coal Creek Bridge standing as a notable landmark where local transport intersects the water. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape where established township life in Marion County is closely tied to the natural drainage patterns of the river valley, from Browns Lake in the west to the course of Wildcat Cr in the east.
