2018 Map of Thornton
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
Thornton and Meservey anchor this North Central Iowa landscape, situated along the border of Cerro Gordo and Franklin Counties. The settlement at Thornton is defined by a traditional grid including Main St, Maple St, and Elm St, while Meservey lies to the west along Maryland St and Ohio St. The terrain is characterized by an extensive network of managed waterways, such as Ditch Number 70 and Ditch Number 57, which support the region's agricultural productivity by directing flow into natural drainages like Bailey Cr and W Br Beaverdam Cr. Local history is preserved at the Pleasant View Cem north of Thornton and the Meservey Cem on the southern edge of its namesake town. The map reveals a highly structured township system where roads like Apple Ave and Grouse Ave mark the section lines of this prairie landscape.
