About this map

The settlement of Amish and the nearby village of Windham anchor this rural landscape along the borders of Johnson, Iowa, and Washington Counties. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Old Mans Creek in the north and the English River in the south, which together shape the agricultural character of the region. A dense network of local roads, such as Black Diamond Rd SW and Angle Rd SW, connects these communities and reveals a traditional settlement pattern often associated with the region's namesake heritage.

Local history researchers will find a significant concentration of small, family-named burial grounds throughout the area. These include Brenneman Cem, Shetler Cem, and Wertz Cem, alongside larger congregational sites like West Union Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. The persistence of these landmarks, alongside smaller tributaries like Birch Cr and Schaffer Cr, provides a detailed record of the rural families and community hubs that have sustained this part of the Iowa countryside into the early 21st century.
