About this map

The N Raccoon River and its southern extension as the North Raccoon River wind through this rural section of Buena Vista County, defining the drainage patterns of a landscape largely dedicated to agriculture. The terrain is marked by the systematic engineering of the local hydrology, evidenced by Lateral Number 2 and the course of Poor Farm Cr. This region maintains its long-standing social anchors at quiet country intersections, where the Zion Lutheran Cem and the Saint Johns Church of Christ Cem serve as important records of the local family history and settlement patterns. A rigid grid of section roads like Co Hwy C43 and Co Hwy C49 organizes the territory, reflecting the enduring township and range surveying system that shaped this part of the Iowa countryside.
