2013 Map of Swedesburg

About this map

Swedesburg serves as the primary focal point of this agricultural landscape in Henry County, situated within a dense grid of rural corridors like Iowa Ave and Lexington Ave. The terrain is defined by its sophisticated drainage network, where Big Cr meanders through the southern reaches, joined by several local tributaries including Brandywine Cr and Little Potomac Cr. This 2013 survey reflects the modern intersection of interstate transit and long-standing farmstead divisions, notably featuring the Hickory Grove Rest Area along the main north-south highway. The regular spacing of section roads such as 150th St and 180th St underscores the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on the Iowa prairie, even as small waterways like Lynn Cr and Spring Cr carve natural diversions through the geometric fields.
