2013 Map of Taylor

About this map

Silver Creek and its many branches define this rural landscape in eastern Pottawattamie County, cutting through a disciplined grid of agricultural section lines. The unincorporated community of Taylor sits south of the main east-west corridor, Highway 6, where the drainage of the Middle Silver Creek and Little Silver Creek systems converge. The map reflects a deeply rooted prairie farming infrastructure, where naming conventions for local routes such as Hickory Rd, Honeysuckle Rd, and Lombardy Rd suggest the plant life integrated into this managed terrain. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary view of these traditional drainage patterns and township roads before further modern development or land-use changes altered the quiet character of the area near Keg Creek.
