About this map

The Thompson River meanders through this borderland landscape between Missouri and Iowa, defining a corridor of agricultural history and small settlements. The map highlights the town of Akron and the nearby New Buda, a location with deep ties to Hungarian immigrant history. The distribution of burial sites across the township is particularly dense for a rural quadrangle, offering significant genealogical value through locations such as the Catholic Cemetery, Akron Cemetery, and Downey Cemetery.

Drainage systems like Indian Creek, Stone Quarry Creek, and Conner Branch carve through the terrain, dictating the placement of rural roads like Co Rd R32 and Co Rd J66. The presence of smaller named points like Burrows and family-named landmarks like Campbell Cemetery and Miller Cemetery suggests a well-established pattern of generational land ownership. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and residential clusters that characterize this part of Decatur County.
