The town of Plover serves as the primary settlement in this section of north-central Iowa, located just south of the border where Palo Alto Co and Pocahontas Co meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Des Moines River and its various tributaries, including Cylinder Creek and Beaver Creek. This 2015 survey illustrates the extensive drainage infrastructure typical of the region's agricultural heritage, marked by numerous engineered waterways such as Ditch Number 123, Ditch Number 48, and Ditch Number 17. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several rural burial grounds including Lincoln Cemetery, Riverside Cemetery, and Ellington Cemetery, which dot the township grid alongside a network of county highways and local roads like County Highway B63.
