2015 Map of Thornton
USGS Topo · Published 2015About this map
Thornton and Meservey define the local landscape of North Central Iowa, situated at the boundary where Cerro Gordo and Franklin counties meet. The area is marked by a precise grid of rural roads like Co Rd B60 and Apple Ave, which partition the fertile agricultural land. Local history and genealogy are anchored by sites such as Pleasant View Cem near Thornton and Meservey Cem to the south. The natural drainage of the prairie is evident through the meandering paths of Bailey Cr, Otter Cr, and W Br Beaverdam Cr, which cut through the township sections. This 2015 edition provides a contemporary look at these small-town centers and their surrounding farmsteads, showing the enduring structure of the region's rural communities.
