2018 Map of Quimby

About this map

Quimby sits in the southeastern corner of this Cherokee County landscape, positioned along the banks of the Little Sioux River. This 2018 survey reveals a well-ordered agricultural grid defined by a network of numbered section roads, including 540th St and 610th St. The terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Rock Cr and Willow Cr, which cut through the farm plots. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved on the map, such as the Mary Hill Cem near the locality of Mary Hill in the north and the Rock Township Cem further east. These sites, along with the transition from the river valley to the higher plains, document the enduring settlement patterns of rural Iowa.
