2010 Map of Plover

About this map

Plover serves as the primary hub of activity in this rural Iowa landscape, featuring the Plover Post Office at the heart of the settlement. The town is situated on a grid of section roads that extend across the agricultural plains of Pocahontas County, illustrating the systematic land division of the Midwest. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Des Moines River, which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle alongside the River Runner Access. This riparian corridor provides a distinct contrast to the surrounding farmland, which is further drained by tributaries like Beaver Creek and Cylinder Creek. Several burial grounds, including Lincoln Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and Ellington Cemetery, are scattered across the township lines, offering significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the heritage of the region's farming families.
