About this map

The northern edges of Holstein anchor this portion of Ida County, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of Silver Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the organized township structure of rural Iowa, defined by a rigid network of roads such as 650th St and Eagle Ave. These routes intersect at precise intervals, punctuated by significant local landmarks like the Silver Cemetery in the north and the Holstein Cemetery further south.

The landscape is naturally partitioned by drainage systems, including Fourmile Creek and Ashton Creek, which carve subtle paths through the surveyed sections. These waterways, along with the smaller Hog Run in the east, influenced the placement of original homesteads and field boundaries. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of municipal development and long-standing rural cemetery sites that serve as vital touchstones for family history researchers in this part of the state.
