About this map

Winfield and Mount Union anchor this agrarian landscape in Henry County, Iowa, reflecting a classic Midwestern section-line grid of rural roads and scattered homesteads. The terrain is defined by the winding drainages of East Fork Crooked Creek to the north and Spring Creek and N Br Big Creek to the south. These watercourses break the geometric precision of the fields, creating wooded riparian corridors that weave through the townships.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Winfield and Scott Cem, Tallman Cem, Sheridan Cem, and Trinity Cem. The layout of the road network, from Marsh Ave to Rose Ave, illustrates a century of rural development where small towns remained the vital hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The southern boundary is marked by 210th St, showing the continuity of the local infrastructure in the early 21st century.
