About this map

The N Raccoon River defines the drainage of this section of Buena Vista County, cutting a meandering path through the central and northeastern sections of the township. In this modern era of agricultural management, the landscape is organized by a precise grid of rural routes including Co Hwy M50 and 500th St, reflecting the enduring structure of the Public Land Survey System. The map documents the spatial relationship between the river valley and the elevated farm lands, with minor tributaries and wetlands scattered across the terrain. While the area is primarily rural, the density of numbered roads such as 150th Ave and 200th Ave illustrates the continued accessibility and partition of this Northwest Iowa farmland in the early twenty-first century.
