2018 Map of Underwood

About this map

Underwood sits at the nexus of a structured agricultural landscape, where the diagonal path of Mosquito Creek and the Railroad Hwy break the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. This modern survey reveals a region defined by its hydrology, as several waterways including Pigeon Cr, Potato Cr, and Onion Cr carve through the loess hills of Pottawattamie County. The placement of Fisher Cem on the outskirts of the town and Castor Cem to the north provide specific points of interest for those tracing local family lineages. The road network, with names like Whippoorwill Rd and Teakwood Rd, reflects a mix of traditional section-line routes and specialized local connectors that have served this farming community for generations.
