2010 Map of Argyle

About this map

Argyle and Charleston anchor this rural landscape in Lee County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the Des Moines River and its numerous tributaries. The map documents a deeply established agricultural community, evidenced by the high density of family and community burial grounds including Saint Marys Cemetery, Bowman Cemetery, and Ambrosia Cemetery. These sites, scattered among the drainages of Goose Creek and Sugar Creek, offer significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region.
