2013 Map of Wyoming West

About this map

The Wapsipinicon River curves through the southern reaches of this Jones County landscape, providing a natural anchor for the settlement at Hale and the nearby Hale Bridge. This eastern Iowa region is defined by its agricultural grid and the small towns that evolved along the transport corridors, including Wyoming in the east and Center Junction in the north. The drainage pattern is dictated by several tributaries, notably Bear Cr and Little Bear Cr, which weave through the townships between Onslow and the river valley. Genealogists and local historians can trace the specific street layouts of these rural communities, such as Main ST in Center Junction or Anamosa Ave in Onslow, which illustrate the connectivity of this prairie landscape. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of local roads and natural waterways that have shaped the development of these Jones County townships.
