About this map

N Raccoon River meanders across this rural Iowa landscape, defining the topography of Buena Vista County in the mid-2010s. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid, where section lines are traced by an extensive network of local roads including 460th St, 500th St, and 150th Ave. This rectangular survey system is anchored by Co Hwy M50, which serves as a primary north-south corridor through the townships of t93n r36w and t92n r36w. The intersection of river hydrology and human-engineered road grids reveals the enduring layout of prairie farmsteads and field boundaries characteristic of the region's modern agricultural era.
