About this map

Albia serves as the focal point of this Monroe County landscape, showing the town's grid and residential expansion eastward toward the community of Maxon. The terrain is defined by a series of creek systems, including Miller Cr and Cedar Cr, which carve through the land before feeding into larger water bodies like Lake Miami in the north and the Maxon Reservoir to the east.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, from the large Oak View Cem and Saint Mary's Cem near the town center to more isolated rural sites such as Boggs Cem, Union Chapel Cem, and Watson Cem. The road network transitions from the named avenues of the county seat, such as Benton Ave E and Washington Ave E, into a precise rural grid of numbered roads and trails like 204th Trl, reflecting the agricultural organization of southern Iowa.
