2015 Map of Taylor

About this map

The agrarian landscape of eastern Pottawattamie County is defined by the repetitive, north-south orientation of the local drainage system. Waterways including Keg Cr, Little Silver Cr, and Middle Silver Cr carve shallow valleys through the terrain, separated by high ridges that carry the rural road network. This pattern of land use is strictly governed by the Public Land Survey System, as seen in the precise grid of roads such as Lombardy Rd and Idlewood Rd that follow section lines within Township 76 North, Range 41 West. The small settlement of Taylor serves as a local point of interest in the southeastern portion of the map. For those researching family history in the area, the York Township Cem is a significant landmark located near the northern boundary, preserved amidst the surrounding fields.
