The North Raccoon River and South Raccoon River converge on this map, shaping a landscape defined by water and early Midwestern transit routes. This area of Dallas County shows the established town sites of Waukee, Van Meter, and Booneville, each centered around its respective post office. The map serves as a vital genealogical resource, documenting numerous family and fraternal burial grounds including the Odd Fellows Cemetery, Miller Cemetery, and Thornton Cemetery. To the north, the small settlement of Ortonville sits along the roadway, while the Raccoon River winds through the southern section near the Booneville Access. The survey provides a clear view of the rural-to-suburban shift in this part of Iowa at the start of the 2010s, maintaining clear delineations of older agricultural holdings alongside growing township footprints.
