About this map

The N Skunk River and North Skunk River dominate the drainage of this central Iowa landscape along the border of Marshall and Jasper counties. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of secondary roads and section lines, including Co Hwy F17 W and Hart Ave, which weave through the agricultural uplands. This area is particularly significant for genealogical research due to several preserved burial grounds, such as Wittemberg Cem in the southern portion and the neighboring Zoar Cem and Saint Johns Cem further north. Smaller waterways like Snipe Cr, Little Snipe Cr, and Cherry Cr dissect the rolling prairie, illustrating the natural water management patterns that have historically dictated farm placement and road alignments in this part of the state.
