About this map

Stratford anchors the southern portion of this landscape, situated along the border of Webster and Hamilton counties. This area is defined by the significant confluence where the Boone River joins the Des Moines River, a waterway that carves a deep valley through the central part of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by a network of recreational paths including the East River Loop Trl and Clay Hill Trl, highlighting the area's contemporary role as a space for river valley preservation.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the rural township divisions, including Vegors Cem, McGuire Bend Cem, and Nesse Cem. To the north, the small settlement of Homer remains a distinct point of interest. The map also traces several named tributaries such as Brushy Creek and Ioway Cr, which feed into the larger river systems that shaped the early settlement patterns of this Iowa interior.
