About this map

The settlement of Amish and the community of Windham anchor this landscape along the border of Johnson and Iowa counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the southward flow of Old Mans Creek and the English River at the southern boundary. This area is particularly rich in genealogical sites, featuring numerous historic burial grounds such as the West Union Mennonite Cem and the Lower Deer Creek Cem.

Transport patterns follow a strict section-line grid, typical of the Midwestern prairie, with routes like Angle Rd SW and Black Diamond Rd SW cutting across the drainage basins of Mooney Cr and Schaffer Cr. The distribution of cemeteries, including the Brenneman Cem and Schottler Cem, suggests a long-established rural population deeply rooted in the agricultural tracts between these creek valleys.
