2010 Map of Winfield South

About this map

The southern portion of Winfield and the settlement of Mount Union anchor this survey of rural Henry County, Iowa. The landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid, including Marsh Ave and Racine Ave, which segments the fertile agricultural land. This drainage pattern is shaped by several meandering waterways such as East Fork Crooked Creek and North Branch Big Creek, which cut across the geometric property lines. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds scattered throughout the township, including Tallman Cemetery, Sheridan Cemetery, and Trinity Cemetery. The village of Mount Union is shown with its street plan and the Mount Union Post Office, serving as a localized hub for the surrounding farmsteads. To the north, the Winfield and Scott Cemetery sits near the edge of the larger community of Winfield, reflecting the long-established social fabric of this prairie region.
