About this map

Ross Township Cem and Forest Grove Cem sit at the northern edge of this rural landscape where the border between Iowa and Missouri divides the drainage of Norvey Cr and Honey Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small tributaries and branches, such as Wolf Pen Br and Fox Br, which feed into larger systems like Brushy Cr and Mozingo Cr. Historically significant for genealogists, several small burial grounds are scattered throughout the sections, including the Kemery Cem, New Hope Cem, and Luteston Cem. The road network follows a rigid section-line grid, typical of the Midwestern plains, with State Hwy E and Noble Rd providing north-south transit across the state line near Allen Lake.
