About this map

Scranton serves as the primary hub of this west-central Iowa landscape, where the town's grid is anchored by the Scranton Post Office and nearby Scranton Cemetery. The North Raccoon River meanders prominently through the northern and eastern portions of the map, carving a winding path through the agricultural section lines. This waterway is a focal point for local activity, evidenced by the Raccoon River Bible Camp and the Brown Bridge Access point.

Rural heritage is preserved through scattered burial grounds including Dillavou Cemetery and Thompson Cemetery, which mark the history of early families in the region. The map also identifies the small settlement of Northville at its northern edge. The transition from the alluvial lowlands of Otter Creek and Short Creek to the surrounding uplands highlights the drainage patterns that have shaped farming and settlement in Greene County for generations.
