About this map

Ross Township Cems and Keinery Cem anchor the northern landscape of this region, which straddles the state line between Taylor County, Iowa, and Nodaway County, Missouri. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Honey Cr, Norvey Cr, and Brushy Cr, which carve through the agricultural sections of t67n r34w and t66n r33w.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the distribution of family-named burial grounds and rural landmarks. From the Brethren Cem in the south to James Lake and Allen Lake, the map traces a quiet landscape of section-line roads like Kentucky Ave and Mercury Rd. Small-scale water features like Wolf Pen Br and Fox Br highlight the drainage patterns that shaped the placement of early settlements and New Hope Cem.
