About this map

Alexandria anchors the southeastern corner of this rural Thayer County landscape, where the local economy and geography are defined by the winding paths of the Sandy Creek system. The map documents a classic agricultural grid of section lines and gravel roads, such as Rd X and Road W, interspersed with essential community landmarks that serve the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Franklin Cem to the north and Pleasant Plain Cem near the center of the quadrangle. The hydrology of the region is punctuated by man-made water features like Sieber Reservoir and Kerwood Reservoir, which alongside Big Sandy Cr, provide the primary relief in an otherwise disciplined prairie landscape.
