2010 Map of Quimby

About this map

Quimby sits along the southern bank of the Little Sioux River in this 2010 survey of Cherokee County. The map documents the rural organization of the surrounding prairie, where a grid of numbered roads like 580th St and lettered avenues connect the isolated settlement of Mary Hill to the river valley. Local history is anchored by the Mary Hill Cemetery and Rock Township Cemetery, which serve as quiet markers of the region's agricultural heritage. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Rock Creek and Willow Creek as they flow toward the main river channel. In town, the Quimby Post Office and Quimby Golf Course represent the community's modern civic and recreational footprint. The transition from the high, gridded farmland to the winding river bottom highlights the enduring relationship between the local geography and the rural Iowa road system.
