2017 Map of Polk

About this map

Polk and Huron anchor the northern landscape of this rural Polk County quadrangle, where the terrain transitions from the heights of Holly Ridge down into a network of fertile creek bottoms. The Pomme de Terre River winds through the southwestern corner, while Panther Cr and Hominy Cr drain the central and eastern reaches. This modern survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and residential patterns of the area, centered around small communities like Violet and Halfway. The map provides specific locations for local family history research, including the Payne Cem, Dunaway Cem, and Goff Cem. Notable infrastructure such as the Jefferson Bridge near the western boundary shows how the local road network, including State Hwy D and State Hwy AA, has been developed to navigate the region's undulating topography and numerous watercourses like Davis Cr and Lindley Cr.
