2018 Map of Stratford

About this map

Stratford sits at the southern edge of this landscape, where the boundary between Webster Co and Hamilton Co meets. The town's grid is defined by streets named for literary figures such as Milton St, Shakespeare Ave, and Tennyson Ave. To the north, the small settlement of Homer marks the historic northern reach of the survey. The geography is dominated by the confluence of the Boone River and the Des Moines River, which carve deep, winding paths through the central part of the quadrangle. This riverine system creates a network of drainages including Prairie Cr and Allen Cr. Throughout the rural sections, several family and community burial sites are preserved, including Hartman Cem, Wegars Cem, and Nesse Cem, providing specific points of interest for those tracing local lineages or township history in central Iowa.
