2018 Map of Rippey

About this map

The town of Rippey serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Greene County, defined by a rigid grid of country roads and the meandering courses of local waterways. Settled within Washington Township, the community is anchored by local landmarks including the Po and the nearby Rippey Cem to the south. The terrain is drained by a network of small streams, most notably Snake Cr, Parrish Br, and Jim Cr, which break the geometric precision of the section lines. Near the southern border at the intersection of the Greene and Boone County line, the small settlement of Angus marks a point of historical transition. This 2018 survey illustrates the enduring patterns of rural Iowa land use, where the placement of farmsteads and cemeteries like Rippey Cem preserves the footprints of generations of local families.
