The North Raccoon River and South Raccoon River converge in this section of Dallas County, shaping a landscape defined by well-established rural townships and growing river towns. Modern transportation corridors, including the Interstate 80 crossing, now bisect land once defined by the early settlements of Van Meter and Booneville. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites preserved across the countryside, such as the Odd Fellows Cem near Adel and the Thornton Cem situated between the river forks.
