About this map

Van Horne sits at the southern edge of this Benton County survey, serving as a primary settlement hub with its gridded streets including Main St, 1st Ave, and 7th St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the agricultural geometry typical of the Iowa prairie, where long-established townships are divided by a precise network of roads such as 20th Ave and 64th St.

Smaller named localities like Benton Centre, Gomersal, and Geneva are positioned along these rural thoroughfares, illustrating the historical distribution of community centers across the township. The natural drainage of the land is visible through the winding paths of Wildcat Cr, Opossum Cr, and Mud Cr, which cut across the rigid section lines. This document captures the modern state of these rural crossroads and the enduring structure of the region's farm-to-market road system.
