About this map

The Maple Valley floor and the surrounding plateaus of Hayes, Eden, and Eureka townships define this corner of Iowa in the late 1970s. The landscape is a study in organized agriculture, divided by the Buena Vista Co Sac Co line. Drainage patterns are clearly visible where the Little Maple River joins the Maple River, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by Halfway Creek and the headwaters of the Boyer River.

Settlement is concentrated at the northern edge of Schaller, where the Chicago and North Western railroad provides a vital transportation link for the region's grain economy. To the northwest, the small community of Hanover is anchored by the St John Sch, serving as a local focal point alongside a rural Cem and a nearby Gravel Pit. A network of section roads and a Pipeline cut across the contours, illustrating the infrastructure required to maintain this productive prairie landscape.
