2022 Map of Walnut

About this map

Walnut occupies the northwestern corner of this Iowa landscape, where the street grid of the small town transitions into a vast network of section-line roads and rolling agricultural land. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of Walnut Cr and Indian Cr, which carve through the prairie soil as they flow south. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including the Saint Patricks Catholic Cem just north of town, and the Layton Township Cem situated to the east. Farther south, the Lincoln Township Cem sits near the headwaters of Little Walnut Cr, marking the rural landscape's history. The map also delineates the county line between Pottawattamie Co and Cass Co, reflecting the political boundaries that have organized this farming region for generations.
