3. Please check the location of the county in the Description against where the county is located in the Location Map.
- To make it easy to decide how to divide up the Location Map, place a pretend line from the center of the top of the Location Map to the bottom and from the center of the left side all the way to the right effectively cutting the state into 4 quadrants like so:
- Top left quadrant would be in northwestern Iowa.
- Top righ quadrant would be in northeastern Iowa.
- Bottom left quadrant would be in southwestern Iowa.
- Bottom right quadrant would be in southeastern Iowa.
- If it is nearest the center, you can say central Iowa.
