2015 Map of Underwood

About this map

Underwood serves as the primary hub of this Pottawattamie County landscape, situated along the diagonal path of Railroad Hwy and the winding course of Mosquito Creek. The topography is defined by a dense network of drainages including Pigeon Cr, Onion Cr, and Potato Cr, which carve through the agricultural terrain. For those researching local family history, the map identifies Fisher Cem just south of Underwood and Castor Cem further north, providing precise locations for these rural burial grounds. The settlement of Bentley appears in the southeastern corner, connected to the broader region by a grid of named rural roads such as Mahogany Rd and Magnolia Rd. The interplay of modern transportation and traditional watercourses illustrates the enduring spatial organization of this Iowa farming community.
