About this map

The agricultural landscape of Page County is defined by the branching waterways of the Tarkio River system. In this rural Iowa quadrant, the Tarkio River flows alongside its tributaries, East Tarkio Creek, West Tarkio Creek, and Rocky Branch, carving a path through a grid of section-line roads. Small community centers like North Grove and Darwin serve as local landmarks within this sprawling farming territory.

For genealogists and local historians, the map provides clear placement for historic burial grounds. Both the Baker Cemetery in the southwest and Summit Cemetery in the southeast are well-documented, situated along the gravel road network of Ironwood Ave and M Ave. The geometry of the landscape, marked by numbered streets from 120 St down to 202 St, reflects a highly organized rural settlement pattern that has persisted into the 21st century.
