2015 Map of Wales

About this map

Wales stands as a primary settlement in this section of Montgomery County, where the agricultural landscape of Iowa is intricately carved by several watercourses. The drainage patterns of Walnut Creek and Crabapple Cr define the terrain, which is organized by a strict grid of section roads including Boxelder Ave and 130th St. In the northern reaches, the Gomer Cem provides a point of genealogical interest near the small community of Wales. The southern portion of the map transition into the vicinity of Hawthorne and McPherson, where the geography becomes more industrialized near the Red Oak Municipal Airport. This area illustrates the persistence of small rural hubs alongside modern regional infrastructure, showing how local transport routes like 200th St connect these legacy townships to larger transportation centers.
