2015 Map of Union Center SW

About this map

Big Whisky Cr and Muddy Cr carve paths through this agricultural landscape on the border of Plymouth and Woodbury Counties. The terrain is defined by a systematic grid of section lines and rural roads, such as Co Hwy D18 and k49, which facilitate movement between the vast farmsteads of the region. This 2015 survey reflects a long-standing pattern of Midwestern land use, where small, localized landmarks serve as the primary anchors for the community. Among these are the Lincoln Cem and Concordia Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of Iowa. The map also captures the smaller drainage networks like Elliott Cr and W Mud Cr, which are essential features for understanding the local hydrology and its impact on the surrounding townships.
