About this map

German Society Methodist Cem and the Rushville Cem stand as quiet landmarks in this rural corner of central Iowa, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the North Skunk River. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage ways, including Alloway Cr, W Burr Oak Cr, and Potato Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields of the Jasper and Marshall county line.

A strictly organized grid of rural roads, such as Co Hwy T12 E and Hwy F17 E, provides access to the scattered farmsteads that characterize this region. The presence of Ken Wolfe Lake offers a rare break in the stream-carved topography. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the area, preserving the locations of early religious and community burial sites amidst a landscape of modern agriculture.
