About this map

Winterset serves as the focal point of this Madison County landscape, where the town's grid meets the meandering path of the Middle River. The map highlights a community deeply connected to its rural roots and local history, as evidenced by several family and community burial grounds including the McDonald Chase Cem, Gordon Cem, and the Primitive Baptist Cem. A notable landmark is the Cutler-Donahue Covered Bridge, located on the eastern edge of the town center, representing the area's famous architectural heritage.

To the north, Cedar Lake and Cedar Cr shape the terrain near the Winterset Municipal Airport. The southern reaches are defined by a complex network of county roads and unique features like the Harmon Tunnel along the river. This documentation of the area captures the balance between municipal growth and the preservation of historic sites, providing a clear record of the townships and sections that define the regional geography.
