2022 Map of Abingdon

About this map

Abingdon and Competine anchor this section of Southeast Iowa, where the border of Wapello and Jefferson Counties meets the southern edge of Keokuk County. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Cedar Creek and Competine Creek, which carve through the rural countryside. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of burial sites, including the Abingdon, Walnut Hill, and Schrom cemeteries, many associated with the area's earliest pioneer families. The layout of the land follows the traditional Public Land Survey System, with a grid of gravel roads like Ash Avenue and County Road V43 connecting small farmsteads. The southern edge reaches the community of Batavia, showing the modern alignment of Old US Highway 34 alongside the established creek drainage of Honey Creek.
