About this map

Underwood serves as the primary hub of this Iowa landscape, situated where Railroad Hwy and Co Hwy G30 meet. The township is defined by a dense network of watercourses, with the prominent Mosquito Creek flowing through the southern sections while smaller tributaries like Pigeon Cr, Potato Cr, and Onion Cr carve through the surrounding agricultural sections. This drainage pattern reveals the intricate topography of the Missouri River watershed in this part of Pottawattamie County.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the location of rural burial sites, including Fisher Cem located just west of the main settlement and Castor Cem situated to the north along Railroad Hwy. The map details the transition of old transportation routes into modern infrastructure, such as the path of Highway St and the numerous section-line roads like Whippoorwill Rd and Rosewood Rd that organize the rural homesteads.
