About this map

Story City serves as the central hub of this central Iowa landscape, situated along the South Skunk River near the border of Hamilton and Story Counties. The area is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a remarkably dense distribution of historic burial grounds, reflecting the diverse heritage of early settlers. Notable sites include the Danish Cem, Mamrelund Cem, and Peerson Cem, each marking the distinct communities that established the townships of t86n r24w and t85n r24w.

The river and its tributaries, such as Miller Cr and Long Dick Cr, carve through the rectilinear grid of farm roads and modern interstate infrastructure. To the east, the community of Roland is situated near the Roland Cem, while to the north, Randall sits just below the county line. Other local landmarks like the Keigley Branch Bridge over Keigley Br and the isolated Comar Lake provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of this prairie landscape.
