2013 Map of Sperry

About this map

Sperry and Dodgeville anchor this portion of Des Moines County, where the agricultural landscape is deeply etched by a network of local waterways. The southern reaches are defined by the winding course of Flint Cr, where the Flint River Bridge serves as a critical crossing point. Further north, the terrain is drained by numerous streams including Yellow Spring Cr, Knotty Cr, and Big Hollow Cr, reflecting the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped farm boundaries and road placements in this corner of Iowa. The map documents the grid-based road system, including named routes like Dodgeville Rd and Pleasant Grove Rd, which connect the small settlements of the interior. This survey provides a precise look at the rural geography and transport infrastructure just west of the Mississippi River corridor during the early 21st century.
