The confluence of the Middle Raccoon River and the South Raccoon River anchors the geography of this central Iowa landscape in the early 1980s. The settlement of Redfield serves as a primary hub, characterized by its industrial activity near the riverbanks, including several claypits, kilns, and a Gravel Pit. To the south, the Iowa Railroad cuts through the town of Dexter, while the Chicago and North Western line tracks along the northern river valley. This survey reveals a high density of rural markers essential for genealogical research, such as the Bear Creek Ch and Pleasant Hill Cem. The land use is notably diverse, showing a balance between active extraction sites, community centers like the Redfield Community Sch, and conservation areas including the Pleasant Valley State Wildlife Area.
